Muhlenberg Deputies make a DUI arrest after a car crash.

Deputies say 52-year-old Rickey L. Bishop of Drakesboro, KY, failed to yield the right of way and hit Muhlenberg County Deputy Sheriff Patrick Putnam, who was on patrol in a 2008 Dodge Charger.

Deputies say Putnam was traveling northbound on North 2nd Street when the 2006 Chevrolet Malibu operated by Bishop turned out in front of him.  The two vehicles collided. 

Both drivers were wearing seatbelts, and no injuries were reported. Troopers arrested Bishop and charged him with a DUI. He was lodged in the Muhlenberg County Detention Center.
