Charges have been filed in 8th District Court in an incident from last month when a repeat offender once again was caught driving under the influence. According to the Probable Cause Statement, 33-year-old Hiet Delenor Jenks of Roosevelt was observed in Uintah County crossing over the white fog line on the roadway in a vehicle with expired registration. Once stopped, the officer noted that there was an open bottle of alcohol on the floorboard as well as other unopened alcoholic beverages. It was noted that Jenks was acting lethargic and had slurred speech. Field sobriety testing was performed as well as a blood draw and it was noted that Jenks is an alcohol restricted driver with a denied driver’s license and prior DUI convictions, including one in 2022 and another in May of 2024. Charges filed against Hiet Dlenor Jenks last week in 8th District Court include 3rd Degree Felony DUI, Failure to Stay In One Lane, Open Container, Driving on a Denied License, Alcohol Restricted Driver, and Failure to Register a Vehicle.
