OWI Follows Fast Food Order

(La Porte County, IN) - He was too drunk to drive and eat apparently without making a mess according to La Porte County Police, who arrested a man with two previous OWI convictions over the weekend.

 

Police said an officer Friday night spotted a driver veer across the center line then leave the road briefly to his right on Indiana 39 near Severs Road.  After same thing happened a second time, the officer tried stopping the northbound car, which didn’t pull over until reaching the parking lot of Briar Golf Course.

 

The golf course is close to where he resides on Tiffany Woods Dr.

 

Police said 31 year old Allan Best had a McDonald’s bag on the passenger seat and food on his face and shirt.  However, Best explained he was coming from Burger King, instead, on the city’s west side, before being arrested after refusing to take a blood alcohol test.

 

The charge was elevated to a felony due to prior OWI convictions from last year and in 2018.  Best was also cited for driving on a suspended license.
