KETTERING — An Amazon delivery driver arrested for earlier this year at the Kettering McDonald’s near Wilmington Pike and Dorothy Lane has pleaded guilty to an OVI charges, online records show.
Jesse Lefforge, 34, of Oakwood, changed his plea to guilty on the charge last month. Lefforge ended up being sentenced to two years probation and was given a suspended jail sentence, which means he doesn’t have to serve the time unless he violates probation.
Police responded to the restaurant in early March after receiving a report around noon of a driver in an Amazon truck possibly intoxicated going through the drive-thru of the restaurant, said Kettering Police Lt. Lee Sanders.
Amazon is looking into the matter and all packages were delivered with no delays to customers, a spokesperson for Amazon said. The company has not provided an update on Lefforge’s status with the company.
Cruiser camera footage obtained by News Center 7 showed the truck was full of packages and officers asked for Amazon to be contacted.
The footage also shows Lefforge doing a field sobriety test on the sidewalk. The video showed Lefforge unable to keep his balance through most of the tests and within about ten minutes police put him in handcuffs.
A bottle of Montebello also was recovered during the police department’s investigation, according to an incident report.
