California: 'Huff' and Tumble Drive Leads To Arrest

From the Lodi News-Sentinel (May 10):

California police were in for a busy Monday afternoon as reports of several hit-and-run crashes lit up their scanners. The suspect, a 30-year old resident, first rear-ended another while driving 20 mph over the speed limit. He then fled the scene only to drive into a dining area of a retirement home. Assisted living officials say the crash was minutes away from seriously injuring residents.

In both cases, the vehicle was nowhere to be found when police arrived on the scene. A call from a Best Buy fence crash had police hot on the driver's trail. He was finally apprehended at the assisted living facility.

Despite his body-jarring forays, the man was not seriously injured although he claimed to be in pain. Police arrested the man on suspicion of DUI.
