He was allegedly under the influence of alcohol at the time. Witnesses called police to report that a disabled vehicle was in the street after it hit a curb while speeding on July 1. When police arrived at the scene, they noted the smell of alcohol on the driver. A breathalyzer test was administered on site; a blood alcohol content of 0.146 was recorded. The driver was arrested and charged with DUI. He was booked into the North Fulton County Jail in Alpharetta. (Appen Media)
3. Explore Georgia recently visited Roswell to report on its Contemporary American culinary scene. Four of downtown Roswell's top restaurants and their unique menus received special recognition. Vin 25, Lucky's Burger & Brew, the Salt Factory Pub, and The Mill Kitchen and Bar were all highlighted for their atmosphere and food. Locals are encouraged to pay these Contemporary American establishments a visit to have a top dining experience for yourself. Roswell continues to be the "talk of the town" throughout Metro Atlanta.
