A Mt. Airy man was arrested and charged with DUI after a rollover wreck late Monday night on GA 197 South.
The Georgia State Patrol reports that 45-year-old Joseph Reed was taken into custody following the wreck shortly after 10 p.m. on March 31.
The preliminary crash report says Reed was driving northbound on GA 197 South near Hilltop Road when he ran off the road in a curve. The vehicle struck a culvert and overturned onto the driver’s side on the side of the road across from Habersham Central High School.
Troopers charged Reed with DUI and failure to maintain lane, both misdemeanors. He was booked at the Habersham County Detention Center and was released the next day on a $1727.50 bond, online jail records show.
No injuries were reported. Troopers from Georgia State Patrol Post 7 in Toccoa investigated the crash and released their findings on April 3.
