Man arrested for DUI,
evading after hitting Loudon Police unit
A Loudon man was taken to Loudon County Jail on numerous charges
over the weekend after refusing to pull over for police, evading
arrest and running into a patrol car.
Responding to the call of a possible intoxicated driver about 8:30
p.m. Sunday along Steekee Road in Loudon, Loudon County Sheriff’s
Office Deputy Ronnie Reagan spotted the vehicle at Highway 11 and
proceeded to follow the gold Cadillac.
Reagan attempted to pull over the driver as he noticed the
vehicle swerving on the road. The driver, Jose Antonio Aquado
Vargas, 26, Loudon, initially would not stop the vehicle, and
Reagan, with assistance from Loudon Police Department,
eventually stopped the driver at Highway 72 and Interstate 75.
“As I approached the vehicle with the Loudon Police units, the
driver was ordered to unlock his doors and exit the vehicle and
as he was attempting to do so his foot came off the brake and he
rolled forward and struck the rear of a Loudon Police unit,”
Reagan wrote in his report.
Vargas displayed signs of intoxication and gave “several false
names and refused to cooperate with anyone,” Reagan said.
Through an interpreter, police requested a field sobriety test,
which Vargas refused. The man did not have a driver’s license on
him, according to the report.
Vargas was charged with driving under the influence, evading
arrest, driving without a valid license and violation of implied
consent and held on $7,000 bond.
