W.Va. man accused of DUI on tractor

September 05, 2008 @ 02:51 PM

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A Charleston man faces drunken driving charges after police spotted him riding a farm tractor on a highway without lights or proper warning signs.

Kanawha County sheriff’s deputies arrested 22-year-old Joshua David Postalwait early Friday morning.

A complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court said deputies were responding to a report of an intoxicated man on a tractor when they saw the tractor on Casdorph Road.

Postalwait was charged with driving under the influence and carrying a concealed weapon.

He was being held Friday afternoon at South Central Regional Jail. Magistrate court officials did not know whether he has a lawyer.
