DUI Lands Man in River
A few too many drinks landed a man from Meridian in a canal.
It happened Friday evening when 20 year old Alfonso Baeza-Torres was leaving a home with a gravel driveway in his Camaro. The home is located on the South Side of McMillan Road near North Timberline Way.
Baeza-Torres was driving fast, under the influence, and he lost control, plunging into the Lemp Canal.
Luckily no one was injured, and Baeza-Torres was the only person in the vehicle.
According to KTVB, he was booked into the ADA County Jail on charges of a misdemeanor DUI, but has since been released.
He'll be back in court October 21st and although official reports don't detail this, I think it's safe to assume the Camaro is a total loss.
