Police say a driver reported a vehicle driving erratically on the highway at about 2:30 a.m. Friday morning. Police found the vehicle near the Jackson County line and stopped the driver, 51-year-old Matthew A. Dishman of Indianapolis. Police say he was slurring his words and had difficulty maintaining his balance.
