(La Porte County, IN) - La Porte County Police say a man who kept driving with heavy damage to his vehicle after a crash was intoxicated.

Police say the same driver came close to striking several vehicles head-on. 31-year old Arvin Romero was zig-zagging his way down Johnson Road Sunday night.

Romero’s face was bloody, apparently from the crash from which he drove off. His back bumper was dragging, and several body panels on the vehicle were falling off, police said.

During a traffic stop, police said the Florida man became irate and tried head butting and kicking the officer. Romero had an alleged blood alcohol level nearly twice the legal limit. He was pulled over on Johnson Road in the Waterford area.
