NEW YORK: A man is being held for members of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after being arrested early Sunday morning.
Indiana Trooper Ross Rafferty was near Princeton, Indiana around 12:35 a.m. Sunday when he saw a blue Ford Mustang weaving in and out of its lane near Brumfield Street. Rafferty followed and the driver pulled over.
The officer detected a strong odor of alcohol from inside the vehicle and asked the driver to identify himself.
The driver initially said his name was Alex Hernandez and presented a Kentucky identification. It was however revealed during the stop that man had never received a valid driver’s license. Further investigation revealed the driver was using a fake name as well.
“Hernandez” was actually 36-year-old Jorge Tenorio Zabala from Princeton. Zabala was taken to the Gibson County Jail where tests showed he had a blood alcohol level of .08%.
Zabala is now being held for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and faces charges of driving while intoxicated, operating a vehicle without a license, false government identification and having a false driver’s license.
