A Hartsville man was arrested early Thursday morning after a deputy saw him improperly signal while driving.

24-year-old Tory N. Gray of Hartsville was stopped by a Bartholomew County deputy at 3:25 a.m. Thursday as he was headed westbound on Jonathan Moore Pike. The officer allegedly smelled alcohol on Gray’s breath and found his license had been suspended. Drug paraphernalia was also allegedly found on the driver’s seat by deputies.

Gray is facing preliminary charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, driving while suspended and possession of paraphernalia.
