A THP trooper says he pulled 55-year-old Richard McElhaney over on Highway 11W just west of Rutledge in the Joppa Community.
Investigators say the stop was made after a trooper noticed the pickup truck weaving on the highway.
McElhaney is charged with first offense DUI and violation of the implied consent law.
