Newly released body camera footage is providing additional detail about the DUI arrest of Aurora City Councilman Robert Andrews, who police say was driving with a blood alcohol level more than three times the legal limit.
According to Aurora police, Andrews was stopped just after 9:30 p.m. Saturday near the intersection of South Chambers Road and East Florida Avenue.
Officers said they initiated the traffic stop after observing Andrews make an improper left turn, nearly strike a curb, and weave between lanes while driving his truck.
When officers approached the vehicle, the police report states that Andrews initially handed over his Aurora City Council identification card instead of his driver’s license.
Officers also reported detecting the smell of alcohol coming from Andrews and described his eyes as pink and watery.
The body camera video shows an officer addressing Andrews shortly after the stop and asking about alcohol consumption.
“My concern is that I can smell alcohol coming from your person, have you had anything to drink tonight?” an officer says in the video.
