Police Dept. Maransky said in an affidavit of prgbable cause that he heard a loud bang when he was parked at the Back Mountain Shopping Cen- ter, and the street lights went out. He, drove to N. Main St. near Franklin St. and saw two men “staggering away” from a 1983 Ford Ranger. Dallas Twp. officer David Fitch was at the scene, followed by Dallas Borough of- ficer David Rinehimer. Maransky said that when he told Wigginton he was going to administer field sobriety tests, Wigginton re- sponded that he was so drunk, it wasn't necessary. After getting a .159 percent reading on a breathalyzer test, Maransky took Wigginton for a blood alcohol test, which Wigginton refused, result- ing in an automatic suspension of driver’s license for one year. Maransky wrote that examina- tion of the accident scene indi- cated the truck was southbound on N. Main St. when it crossed over the center line onto the east bern of the roadway, ran over shrubs and struck a utility pole head on. After striking the pole, the truck spun into more shrubs, a fence and a tree, before coming to rest facing north. The following defendants waived their right to a preliminary hearing on driving under the influ- ence charges: * Robert T. Jackson, 28, of 13 Kitchen Ave., Harveys Lake, ar- rested at 1:45 a.m. April 17 by Dallas Borough officer James Martin at a sobriety checkpoint near the Dallas Shopping Center. Martin said a Chevrolet Blazer operated by Jackson slowed down as it approached the checkpoint, and weaved across lanes. He said Jackson appeared disorientated and .his eyes were half closed. After failing field sobriety tests, Jackson tested at .10 percent on a breathalyzer. He was then taken for a blood alcohol test, which registered .134 percent, above the .10 percent limit. He is also charged with careless driving. * Patricia A. Jayne, 33, of High St.; RR 1, Harveys Lake, arrested at about 2:30 a.m. April 9 by Dallas Twp. officer Douglas Higgins. Higgins said he saw Jayne driving erratically north on Rt. 415, and when he followed the car clocked the speed at 60 mph. When he turned on his lights and siren, Jayne continuedon Rt. 415 to Harveys Lake, turned right and continued until making a sudden stop at pole 20. After failing field sobriety tests, Jayne was taken to Wilkes-Barre General Hospital for a blood alcohol test, which she refused to take, resulting in an automatic suspension of her driver’s license for one year.
