An Alabama truck driver, Demetria Clayton, is in hot water after being pulled over for suspected DUI in Grand Forks and allegedly attempting to bribe the arresting officer with $3,000. According to court documents, the incident occurred on July 7th, just before 10 p.m., when an officer responded to reports of a potential drunk driver behind the wheel of a semi.
