The vehicle eventually pulled over near milepost seven along SR-155. The driver and passenger, two men, both appeared intoxicated. There were empty beer bottles in their car. The WSP trooper processed the driver for driving while intoxicated and the passenger was taken to Grand Coulee, where he had family somewhere in the area, and released.
