It was a busy weekend for the Oregon State Police and Trooper Mark Jubitz. Sunday morning he arrested a 34-year old man from The Dalles during a traffic stop when the trooper found the intoxicated man seated in the front passenger seat steering the vehicle as his 10-year old son sat in the driver’s seat. An OSP press releases said Trooper Jubitz saw an SUV traveling on Klindt Drive in the west end of The Dalles running with its hazard lights on as it failed to maintain a lane of travel and was stopping in the road. Jubitz noted the front passenger was steering the vehicle and stopped it as it pulled into a business parking lot. The person in the driver’s seat he noted it was a 10-year old boy identified as the passenger’s son. The passenger was identified as 34-year-old Jose Israel Torres ofThe Dalles. Jubitz saw an open container of alcohol at the passenger’s feet and several other empty containers in the back seat. Torres was arrested for DUII, Reckless Driving, and Recklessly Endangering Another Person. TORRES was also cited for several traffic violations including No Valid Operators License. He was lodged at NORCOR. But that’s not all. Before his arrest, TORRES called his wife to come pick up their son. When his wife arrived, Jubitz learned she also did not have a valid driver’s license and cited her for the traffic violation.
