Police in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, say a 34-year-old man crashed a
truck through a construction zone, drove through the police
department's front yard, hitting a "Drive Sober or get Pulled Over" sign
before being arrested.
Grand Blanc Township Police say that at about 2am on Aug. 23, police
noticed a vehicle stopped, although there was no stop sign.
As it pulled into a driveway, police saw both front tyres were flat and
pulled over the vehicle.
After noticing more vehicle damage to the Ford F-150, police said the
driver wouldn't answer what he hit.
When the man exited the vehicle, police saw that he wasn't wearing any
shoes and, after initially refusing to answer how much he drank, he
eventually told police "he had a lot," according to the report.
After arresting him for operating while intoxicated, he gave a sample of
0.25 blood-alcohol content - three times the legal limit - with a
breath test.
Nearly 10 hours later, at 12:30pm, officers found damaged property in
front of the police department,including tyre tracks that left the road
to strike a "watch for fire trucks sign," a ground flood light and a "Drive Sober or get Pulled Over" sign.
In the process of going into the yard, police say the man hit two sand
hills that were in the area for construction and, after hitting the
signs, stopped near the broken signs, where police found a receipt with
his name on it.
The Ford truck that the man was driving was owned by a Linden resident,
who told police the man did not have permission to drive the vehicle and
was supposed to be working on it.
