SOLON, Ohio -- Solon police arrested a 46-year-old man after an officer pulled him over and found he was drunk, had marijuana in his car and had urinated in a cup while driving.

The officer stopped Merritt Everett of Oakwood about 2:36 a.m. Saturday when his car drifted over the center line on Richmond Road.

Everett smelled of marijuana and alcohol and had recently urinated on himself, police said.

Everett admitted to the officer that his car was swerving because he was urinating in a cup.

The officer found three bags of marijuana in his car. A breathalyzer test showed he had a blood-alcohol content level of 0.206 percent, which is over the legal limit of .08 in Ohio, according to the police report.

Everett faces charges of OVI, prohibited BAC, drug possession, driving on the wrong side of the road and failure to wear a seat belt.
