ROSWELL, Ga. — A suspected drunk driver who led police on a chase through North Fulton County may be in a lot of trouble, but that isn't interfering with his manners, investigators said.
Roswell police Capt. Donald Moss told Channel 2 Action News reporter Darren Lyn that the driver actually waved at police while making a U-turn in an attempt to evade them. Investigators said police spotted the driver weaving in and out at about 3 a.m. Tuesday on Highway 92.
Police identified the driver as Samuel Creel of Marietta.

Creel is charged with DUI and evading police.
