TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) - A new device will help Indiana law enforcement identify impaired drivers. It's called the SoToxa mobile test system and it has the ability to detect a variety of drugs.
Vigo County Sheriff John Plasse says testing drivers under the influence of alcohol is commonplace for law enforcement; however, determining if a person has consumed other substances can be more difficult.
"There's times we have somebody we pulled over and they were impaired, there was just no doubt it, we ran them on the PBT and it's zero. Well like, something's going on here, we just don't know what it is," Plasse said.
