A 33-year-old Huber Heights man is facing multiple charges following a traffic stop in Urbana early Sunday morning, November 8.
According to the Urbana Police Division, officers stopped a vehicle driven by Cody Scherer around 12:07 a.m. after reportedly clocking it traveling more than 50 mph in a 35 mph zone on North Main Street.
Officers reported noticing a strong odor of alcohol, slurred speech and bloodshot, glossy eyes. Scherer admitted to drinking earlier in the evening. A search of the vehicle reportedly uncovered two unopened cans of Twisted Tea and an open, nearly empty bottle of Paul Masson Brandy behind the front passenger seat.
Scherer showed multiple clues of impairment during standardized field sobriety tests and refused to provide a breath sample, according to the police report.
He has been charged with OVI, obstructing official business, open container of alcohol and speeding.
Scherer appeared by video in Champaign County Municipal Court on Monday, November 9, where he entered a not guilty plea. The court appointed an attorney and granted bond with conditions including an alcohol ankle monitor, no alcohol consumption and no entering establishments that serve alcohol.
A pretrial hearing is scheduled for December 7 at 10 a.m.
