A Cannon County man who took a drive after being under the influence of prescribed medicine was arrested recently. According to Sheriff’s Department reports, deputies were dispatched near HWY 53 market for a driver later identified as Rustin Means. The caller had stated that Means was all over the road, had pulled into the market and looked like he dozed off before waking up and leaving the market. Deputies passed the car and didn’t realize it until they got to the market. Deputies backtracked into town where they found the car and Means leaving Co-op. After finally conducting a traffic stop, Means couldn’t get his paperwork in order as he had not received his registration papers for the car. At first Means denied taking medication but later stated he took his medication earlier that day. Means was arrested for DUI second offense and was also given citations for implied consent and no seatbelt. He is scheduled to answer to the DUI charge in Cannon County General Sessions Court On March 2nd.
