37-year-old Nicholas Aaron Gordon of Woodbury is charged with driving under the influence. His bond is $3,500 and he will make a court appearance on July 28.

Sheriff Ray said that on July 10 a deputy was dispatched to the area of Sparta Highway in response to a vehicle accident. Upon arrival the officer spoke with Gordon, who had driven off into a ditch. Gordon had a strong odor of alcohol on him. His speech was slurred, and he was unsteady on his feet. Gordon submitted to but performed poorly on field sobriety tasks.

A passenger with Gordon, 39-year-old Alisha Beth Ford of Mount Herman Road, Smithville is charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to manufacture, sell, or deliver. Her bond is $15,000 and she will make a court appearance July 28.

Sheriff Ray said that on July 10 while assisting another officer with a DUI arrest involving Gordon, a deputy spoke with Ford who was in the passenger seat.
