A 23-year-old man has been charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor after authorities found a 17-year-old girl lying in the middle of US Highway 40.<\/p>\n
Officers were called to US 40 at about 2 a.m. April 23, where they found the 17-year-old intoxicated. A responding officer also found two men down the road. One was a 19-year-old and the other was 23-year-old Justin Halley.<\/p>\n
According to the affidavit for Halley’s arrest, the 19-year-old admitted he had one beer about two hours prior, and Halley was highly intoxicated and could barely stand without falling over.<\/p>\n
Officers performed roadside maneuvers with the 19-year-old to make sure he could drive and released him.<\/p>\n
Halley reportedly told police he had consumed eight beers and some whiskey. His preliminary breath test revealed his blood-alcohol content was 0.174%.<\/p>\n
Halley allegedly admitted to purchasing the alcohol and allowing the two teenagers to drink. He was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a felony.<\/p>\n
Halley\u2019s arraignment is scheduled for June 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
