(La Porte County, IN) - The driver of an SUV that slammed into a tree outside La Porte early this morning was arrested for Operating a Vehicle while Intoxicated.

 

At roughly 1 a.m., La Porte County Police responded to the area of 500 West and 150 North, finding the driver, 24-year-old Jamaine Mosley, still in the vehicle resting against a NIPSCO utility pole upon their arrival.  The collision left a large amount of debris from the tree and his 2010 Honda Odyssey on the roadway.

 

He had a cast on his foot and was struggling with his crutches before making his way out of the vehicle.

 

Mosley told officers he had one drink at a friend’s house. However, there were reportedly several open alcoholic beverage containers in the vehicle, and his blood alcohol level was close to three times the .08 percent legal limit.

 

The La Porte area man was not injured.
