WOWK reports Thomas Henderson had the smell of alcohol on his breath and registered a .090 on his field sobriety test.

In West Virginia, a reading of .08 is legally drunk but for those with a commercial drivers license that drops to.04.

Henderson will be charged with DUI and operating defective equipment.

The McDowell County Sheriff's office in Charleston, West Virginia reported Henderson was on Route 6 near the peak of Burke Mountain when he was taken into custody. The driver has been released on $500 bond.

Earlier this week two plow drivers were arrested for a different crime. Check that story here.
