According to the Anacortes American, a 74-year-old Anacortes man faces a DUI charge after hitting several cars in the hospital parking lot before going in for a scheduled medical procedure.
A witness said the man backed his pickup into a parked car, then pulled forward and sideswiped another parked car around 9:30 a.m. Friday, March 12. He then walked into the medical building.
An officer learned the driver was scheduled for a medical procedure that reportedly was canceled because he drank to the point where he didn’t know what day it was. He smelled strongly of intoxicants, had slurred speech and was unbalanced. He denied hitting any parked cars, but allegedly admitted he had “a bit to drink.” When the officer pointed out the damage to his pickup and the other vehicles, the driver agreed he must have hit them.
He allegedly failed field sobriety tests and leaned against a fence to maintain his balance. He provided breath samples three times the legal limit. He was cited on charges of DUI, hit and run and having no insurance.
