Ross had glassy, bloodshot eyes, and police detected the odor of alcohol coming from his vehicle, where multiple empty Yuengling bottles were visible in both the front and rear seat, according to court documents.
Ross refused a field sobriety test, but showed several indicators of impairment and had an odor of alcohol on his breath, police allege.

In another case, at 11:15 p.m. on May 20, Marie Fisher, 57, of 1355 Broadway Road, Milton, after a report of a 2017 Subaru Forester along the road in the 8000 block of Lycoming Creek Road with its four-ways on.
The caller related that they had stopped to check on the occupant, who displayed erratic behavior and was visibly upset. A check of the registration revealed that the owner was the subject of several welfare checks and attempts to locate the vehicle, one of which occurred the previous day, court documents state.
Police located the vehicle turning out of Myers Lane onto State Route 14 northbound. The reporting witness' vehicle was a short distance ahead, and when they pulled to the side of the road, Fisher followed. Both vehicles then moved back to the highway, with Fisher doing so without a turn signal. A traffic stop was initiated shortly after, according to an affidavit.
Fisher had glassy, bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and the odor of alcohol was detected from the vehicle, police allege. An open alcoholic beverage was visible behind the driver's seat, and Fisher admitted she had consumed alcohol during dinner.
Police requested the reporting witness return to the sign to positively identify the vehicle and driver as those that they had called about. The witness and a passenger confirmed they had made the report about Fisher out of concern for her welfare due to her erratic driving, which included rapid acceleration, weaving on the roadway, and turning her lights off and on, according to an affidavit.
Fisher failed a field sobriety, stating that she had also taken prescription medication earlier in the day, police allege.
Police discovered a small glass pipe with marijuana residue in Fisher's purse. She had a BAC of .03, and lab results were positive for the presence of THC. Fisher was charged with DUI, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, two summary offenses and released.
