Police not fooled by “lazy eye”

Police stopped 29-year-old James Renfroe Jr. of 280 Courtyard Circle in Winder after a citizen called 911 to report a possible drunk driver.

The responding officer witnessed Renfroe fail to maintain lane in the area of W. Athens Street and McNeal Road and initiated a traffic stop.

In his report, the officer noticed that Renfroe’s “eyes were very glossy and his speech slow and lazy.”

After conducting the field sobriety evaluation, the officer asked for consent to search Renfroe’s vehicle. The search revealed 18 Valium pills and eight Xanax pills.

Renfroe was arrested and charged with DUI, possession of a controlled substance, driving on the wrong side of the road, failure to maintain lane and seatbelt violation.
