TROY (WWJ) -- A Troy police officer was on the scene when a drunk driver was traveling in the wrong direction on a one-way Sunday at around 2:30 a.m.
Shown on a dashcam video released by the Troy Police Department Friday, the driver of the Jeep Wrangler turned the wrong way onto Stephenson Highway, north of Maple Road.
The officer then used a U-turn lane to drive after the wrong-way driver to pull them over. Police said the driver was arrested without incident.
Officials said the driver has not yet been charged or arraigned in the case and is waiting on a decision from the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office.
Along with the video, the Troy police tweeted, "Great job by our midnights Officer stopping this wrong way drunk driver on Stephenson Hwy before someone got hurt."
