(La Porte County, IN) - A man is charged with drunk driving after crashing on his moped. 

62 year old Joseph Mrozek went into a ditch Saturday night in the area of 100 South and 300 East, according to La Porte County Police.  Mrozek was unconscious when a good Samaritan rushed over to check on him but woke up after the man yelled several times, police said. 

Police said Mrozek claimed he was a passenger on the moped.  However, his appearance matched the long hair and beard of the man a witness saw driving the moped just moments before the crash. 

Mrozek, who has a history of drinking and driving, had alleged blood alcohol level over three times the legal limit, police said.  He’s also charged with driving after his license was revoked.
