A 60-year-old man was caught driving while intoxicated in Joliet and carrying marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms in his vehicle, police said.
About 7:30 p.m. Sunday, an officer on patrol attempted to pull over a vehicle after it ran a traffic light, police said.
The vehicle was traveling south on Raynor Avenue at West Jefferson Street when it ran the red light, then made a U-turn and headed north on Raynor, police said.
The driver initially refused to stop but then pulled over near Richmond and Wilcox streets, police said.
