An early Saturday stop of a Chevy Cruze for violating the vehicle code ended when the Modesto man driving it was taken into custody for drunken driving.

At 1:12 a.m., Officer Aaron Pinon was on patrol in the area of Crows Landing and Hackett roads when he stopped Juan Cordova, 53, of Modesto. It quickly became apparent to the officer that Cordova was under the influence of an alcoholic beverage, something which was confirmed by field sobriety tests and a breath sample that showed a blood alcohol content of over twice the legal limit to drive. Cordova was booked into the Stanislaus County Public Safety Center for DUI.
