Thomas Beltran, 27, of Ceres was arrested for drunken driving early Thursday after he was pulled over at 2:39 a.m. for vehicle code violations in the area of Hatch Road and Richland Avenue.

Officer Aaron Pinon stopped a burgundy-colored Toyota Camry and noticed how Beltran displayed signs of someone under the influence of an alcoholic beverage. Beltran failed a field sobriety test and was arrested for DUI. He later provided a breath sample that showed that he was over double the legal limit of alcohol in his system to drive.

Beltran was booked for DUI into the Stanislaus County Public Safety Center.
