Deputies said the incident happened after they received several 911 calls about a driver weaving in and out of traffic.

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office released a dash camera video showing deputies attempting to stop the driver.

Deputies said they encountered the driver, Cody Vetter, on Interstate 75, but he kept going.

They were finally able to force the truck to stop on an off-ramp at Highway 326.

Vetter was so intoxicated he struggled to understand why he was being arrested, according to a report.

Deputies said Vetter’s blood alcohol level was three times over the legal limit.

The report says he told investigators he thought he was on I-75 South headed to Gainesville but was actually in Ocala.

Vetter is facing charges of fleeing and driving under the influence.
