Concord Police Log: Teen Allegedly Blows 0.134 Breathalyzer

John J. Jellue, 19, of Jennings Drive in Concord, was arrested at 1:44 a.m. on Oct. 15, 2015, for unlawful possession of alcohol and a bench warrant. Officers were sent to Pleasant Street Extension for a possible drug overdose. Witnesses reported that an African-American man had been seen walking away from the area where the person was overdosing. The reporting officer checked the area and found only one person matching the description – Jellue – at the corner of South Main and Fayette streets. The man reportedly had no ID and gave the officer the name, “George,” and his birthdate. After some investigating, the officer learned that it was actually Jellue. “While speaking with Jellue, I noted that his speech was slurred and that he was swaying from side to side as he stood,” the officer alleged. “I also smelled the distinct odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his person.” Jellue, however, allegedly denied drinking but agreed to an eye test and later, a portable breathalyzer. In a court affidavit, the officer alleged that Jellue blew a 0.134 on the BrAC test. He was arrested and held without bail.
