A Shelbyville man was arrested Saturday on alcohol-related charges after an early-morning traffic stop.

Judy Jackson, Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman, says that at approximately 2:45 a.m., Deputy Sgt. Kris Weisner saw a vehicle traveling east on County Road 450 South without its headlights on. Weisner stopped the vehicle and spoke with the three people inside. Sgt. Weisner reported smelling alcohol coming from inside the vehicle. The driver, 20-year-old Dakota Stevens, allegedly told Weisner that he had been drinking but didn’t realize his headlights were not on.

Stevens was arrested on preliminary charges of Operating a Motor Vehicle While Intoxicated Illegal Consumption of Alcohol and Operating a Motor Vehicle Without a License. Jackson says that Stevens has since been released.
