Demetrius Goode, 23, Burlington, was arrested on Sunday, Feb. 14, after deputies responded to a report of a vehicle in the ditch on the 2700 grid of U.S. Highway 34.

Goode was charged with operating while intoxicated, first offense, a serious misdemeanor; and carrying weapons, an aggravated misdemeanor.
