A 21-year-old Patterson man was jailed for drunken driving early Saturday after an officer pulled him over for a vehicle code violation.

Officer Aaron Pinon was patrolling the area of Whitmore Avenue and Eastgate Boulevard at 1:48 a.m. when he stopped Nelson Valderbilt in his car. Officer Pinon noticed Valderbilt appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. He was arrested after undergoing field sobriety tests and submitting a breath sample that showed he was over the legal limit of alcohol consumption to drive. Valderbilt was booked into the Public Safety Center for DUI.
