Two plastic Bud Light drinking cups were found with the open bottle of vodka.

A Glenwood man faces several drinking-related charges following a Nov. 10 Homewood arrest.

Police say they saw 35-year-old Nathaniel Hull of Glenwood swerving over the median lane while driving eastbound in the 1200 block of 183rd Street around 2:40 a.m. 

Hull was pulled over, and while he was fumbling through his wallet for his license and registration, Homewood cops noticed an open bottle of Svedka and two plastic Bud Light drinking cups on the passenger side floor, according to the report. Police say Hull failed a field sobriety test, and was taken into the Homewood Police Department where he blew a .167 on a breath test.
