From the Anacortes American, January 6, 2010
A 65-year-old man was arrested on charges of DUI after allegedly hitting a parked car in the 3300 block of West Third Street and leaving the scene around 8:54 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 29.
Witnesses reported a dark colored SUV with an auto dealer’s license plate struck a parked car, which was pushed into another parked car, damaging both vehicles.
A neighbor checked the area and found a vehicle matching the description at a home in the 3800 block of West Sixth Street. The vehicle had extensive fresh damage to its front end and paper plates from a local car dealer.
Officers contacted a 65-year-old man at the home who allegedly admitted driving the vehicle and said he had not been injured. He was very unsteady on his feet, smelled strongly of alcohol and had bloodshot eyes and heavily slurred speech. He later allegedly admitted having several beers at a local casino before driving home.
The man failed field sobriety tests and was arrested. He provided breath samples that were more than two and a half times the legal limit. He was cited on charges of DUI and hit and run and released to his wife.
