(La Porte County, IN) - An arrest for driving impaired was made after a Chevy Suburban hit a tree stump near Kingsbury.

Rodney Pineda, 31, is charged operating while intoxicated.

According to La Porte County Police, officers at about 2 a.m. on Monday responded to U.S. 35 near 400 South on a report of a single vehicle crash.

Upon arrival, a tow truck was called to remove the 1996 Chevy Suburban off the tree stump.  A short time later, police said Pineda, who lives in the Kingsbury area, was found walking along 400 South near 150 East.

Pineda, showing symptoms of alcohol consumption, told officers he had consumed four beers, authorities noted. After a portable breathalyzer test recorded a blood alcohol level of more than twice the legal limit, Pineda was arrested when he refused to submit to a certified blood alcohol test.
