LEWISTON -- A Lewiston man arrested for drunk driving faces a felony charge after he allegedly offered an officer $50.

Second District Court documents show 23-year-old Scott M. Hayward faces a felony count of bribery of municipal or county officers after he allegedly offered the money in his pocket to an arresting officer.

Hayward was arrested early Friday morning on misdemeanor charges of driving while intoxicated and possession of marijuana.

Reports indicate Hayward was placed in a patrol car where he allegedly offered $50 to an officer.

A probable cause hearing is scheduled June 4.

If convicted, Hayward faces up to 14 years in prison.
