A Pulaski County man was arrested on numerous charges after being caught driving recklessly by local law enforcement this weekend.

According to the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department, Mark Bradley, 41, 2975 Ky. 192, Somerset, was driving a 1984 Chevrolet pickup truck 10 miles east of Somerset at the time of the arrest, at around 9:50 p.m. Saturday night. Deputy Steve Molen observed the vehicle being operating in an erratic manner and made a traffic stop. Molen determined the vehicle’s driver to be under the influence of controlled substances.

Bradley was charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs with a blood contamination level of .08 (aggregative circumstance), a first offense; possession of an open alcoholic beverage container in a motor vehicle, and rear licenses plate not being illuminated.

He was also charged on a Pulaski District Court warrant of arrest of flagrant non-support, which was issued for Bradley after he allegedly failed to pay child support in the amount of $1,218.

Bradley was lodged in the Pulaski County Detention Center.
