North Liberty man charged with third OWI

A North Liberty man faces numerous charges after a traffic stop Tuesday evening.

According to a complaint by North Liberty police, Dustan Devries, 32, was charged after officers observed him operating a black Ford truck. The complaint said the officer who observed Devries was aware Devries did not possess a valid driver’s license. Officers ran a check on Devries’ status using their in-car computer and found Devries’ license is revoked, the complaint said.

According to the complaint, officers initiated a traffic stop. Devries allegedly had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech and smelled strongly of ingested alcohol. Devries failed a field sobriety test, the complaint said, and refused to submit a breath test at the Coralville police station.

The complaint said Devries has two prior OWI convictions. He is charged with third-offense OWI, a Class-D felony, and driving with a revoked license.
