Police authorities took 50-year-old Goshen, Kentucky resident Donald Jefferies into custody on Thursday, March 6 for charges of driving under the influence of prescription medication, driving while intoxicated, and three counts of assault in the first degree in relation to a Carroll County, Carrollton car accident that injured three people.

Kentucky State Police Dave Roberts was the one who served Jefferies the warrant a week after the accident, which occurred on February 26 near the KY 36 Bridge and Notch Lick Road.

The police investigation showed that Jefferies was headed east on KY 36 when his vehicle traversed the center line and hit the car in which Carrollton residents Stephen and Nicole Wise, 37 and 34, respectively, were riding. Both were injured, in addition to a passenger who is a minor. All were taken to Louisville area hospitals for treatment of their injuries.
