A 38-year-old man is facing felony accusations after authorities in Weld County say they caught him early Tuesday driving under the influence and speeding the wrong way down a highway.
Jason Zink, of Greeley, was arrested on suspicion of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, vehicular eluding, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, reckless driving and changing lanes when unsafe.
The county sheriff’s office was alerted to Zink at about 1 a.m. when callers reported he was driving a silver 2014 Nissan sedan northbound in the southbound lanes of U.S. 85.
“A Weld County deputy and a LaSalle police officer attempted to pull the vehicle over but (Zink) failed to stop and attempted to elude the officers for a short time,” the sheriff’s office said in the a news release.
Zink was safely stopped on the 2700 block of 22nd Street Road in Greeley where he was taken into custody.
