CAMBRIDGE RESIDENT ARRESTED FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE WITH A 0.17 BLOOD ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION
Dorchester County, MD - On April 28, 2025, a routine traffic stop in Cambridge, Maryland, resulted in the arrest of local resident Alana Leshawn Jackson for driving under the influence of alcohol.
The incident occurred around 2:38 a.m., when officers from the Cambridge Police Department noticed a vehicle behaving suspiciously, prompting them to initiate the traffic stop.
As the vehicle was being pulled over, it reportedly hit a curb, which raised the officers' concerns. Upon interacting with Jackson, they observed several signs indicating she was under the influence, including a noticeable smell of alcohol.
Following standard procedures, officers asked Jackson to exit her vehicle and perform the Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST), which she did not pass.
As a result, Jackson was arrested and taken to the Cambridge Police Department for further evaluation. At the police department, she consented to a breath test, which was administered at the Maryland State Police Barrack in Easton. The test results indicated her Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) was .17, significantly exceeding the legal limit.
After the testing, Jackson was transported back to Cambridge and released at her residence with citations. She faces several charges, including driving under the influence of alcohol, driving while impaired, failure to display her license upon demand, and driving without current vehicle tags.
This incident highlights the ongoing efforts by law enforcement agencies to combat impaired driving and promote road safety. Authorities urge drivers to comply with traffic laws and avoid driving under the influence of alcohol to prevent accidents and legal repercussions.
