– An East Liverpool man was charged with OVI and failure to control Aug. 27 after his motorcycle went off the right side of Carmel Achor Road in Middleton Township. Charged was Phillip E. Steele, 56, Highland Drive, who was eastbound when the 1992 BMW went off the road, struck a ditch, drove back onto the roadway, coming to rest on its side. According to reports, the investigating trooper arrived at the scene to find both Steele and his passenger, his 22-year-old daughter Alexis Steele, state Route 170, Fredericktown, in the back of an ambulance. His daughter reportedly said she had been driving the motorcycle, but when told she would be in more trouble if she were lying, began crying and admitted Mr. Steele was driving and she was trying to cover for him because he already has had seven OVI offenses. Mr. Steele refused all field sobriety tests and said he had no recollection of what had happened for four to five hours, according to reports, which said he smelled of alcohol, had slow, slurred speech and was stumbling. He initially refused medical treatment but then asked to go to the hospital, where he did agree to a urine sample, which was sent for testing. The bike was towed by First Class Towing.
