Police arrested two separate motorists on DUI charges at an Anchorage gas station early Sunday morning.
The first driver, 33-year-old Duane Nash, was pulled over for speeding on Minnesota Drive shortly before 4 a.m., according to a release from the Anchorage Police Department.
After he pulled into a gas station parking lot on Spenard Road, police noticed Nash showed “signs of impairment.” He failed a field sobriety test and was arrested at the scene, according to police.
As police put Nash into the back of a patrol car, a green Volkswagon Jetta pulled into the parking lot. The driver, 23-year-old Avery Hudson, parked his car and walked up to the arresting officers.
“Hudson told the officers that he knows Nash, saw the red GMC in the parking lot, and wondered if it was Nash’s truck,” police wrote in the release.
Officers detected signs of impairment on Hudson. A field sobriety test was performed and he was arrested and charged with operating under the influence. He was also issued a citation for having an open container of marijuana in his vehicle.
