Lester Randolph Pugh Jr. of Gulf Shores will soon be facing charges of driving under the influence and driving a stolen vehicle in East Brewton.

Pugh, 32, was pulled over by East Brewton police officer Andy Miles in November on U.S. 41 after his erratic driving was called in by a civilian. He was arrested just north of the Alabama/Florida state line. The Chevy Blazer being driven by Pugh turned out to be a stolen vehicle belonging to a volunteer fire fighter in Santa Rosa County, Fla.

Officer Miles called for backup and was assisted by officer Chris Neal.

According to the East Brewton Police Department, Pugh was also wanted in Georgia for unspecified crimes.

After calling Florida law enforcement officials to verify that the Blazer was stolen, the vehicle driven back to the East Brewton Police Department to be picked up by the Berrydale Fire Deparment.

No information was released regarding what Pugh’s blood-alcohol content was at the time of the arrest.

Pugh, who was booked into the Escambia County Detention Center, was released on Dec. 9 on $5,000 bond, and will appear in municipal court in East Brewtong next month to face the drunk-driving charge. In addition, theft charges are likely to be filed in Santa Rosa County.
