Augusta man charged with driving under the influence

Wayne Anthony Pierce, 49, 3942 New Karleen Road, was charged with tag light required, weaving over roadway, seat belt violation, DUI/alcohol and driving without a valid license.

According to the incident report, officer Josh Fowler was on patrol on Hwy. 72 when he noticed the vehicle with no working tag light. As he followed the vehicle, Fowler noted that it crossed the centerline and the fog line multiple times, so he pulled it over. As Fowler was calling in the tag number, he noticed the driver (Pierce) change seats with a female passenger. When he asked Pierce about this, Pierce reportedly told him that he did not have a license. When asked how much he had had to drink, Pierce replied “too much.” When asked if he would submit to a field sobriety test, Pierce reportedly said “f*&^ no” that the deputy had to prove he was drunk. He was arrested and taken to jail.
