Roanoke Rapids Police Department
On Sunday around 8 p.m. Lieutenant M. Hunsucker responded to the report of a motor vehicle collision in the area of West Fifth and Monroe streets, according to Chief Shane Guyant.
One of the vehicles was identified as a Chevrolet Aveo driven by Jeremy Narron, 35, of Gaston, who Hunsucker deduced to be impaired from a substance other than alcohol.
Narron consented to Standardized Field Sobriety Testing and at the completion of the testing, Hunsucker determined the man was impaired on a substance other than alcohol. Hunsucker conducted a DWI blood draw for impaired substances.
Narron was taken before a magistrate and charged with DWI and an unsafe movement violation.
He was released without bond to an unimpaired responsible party and given a May 17 district court date.
Guyant noted the marks on Narron’s face were not caused by the crash.
