(La Porte County, IN) - A Michigan City man was found to be allegedly impaired following a single vehicle crash.

First responders were called about 6 a.m. on Friday to Johnson Road and 500 West.  The investigation revealed Romell Hickmon, 31, sideswiped a utility pole in his 2005 BMW sport utility vehicle, which came to rest about 50 yards into a bean field, according to La Porte County Police.  Police said Hickmon was not able to give a solid explanation on how the accident happened.

During a field sobriety test, police said Hickmon lost his balance then asked the officer if he was going to make him dance and started dancing.  He was transported to Northwest Health where a blood sample taken from him revealed an alleged .210 blood alcohol level.

He could receive an up to one year jail sentence on a Class A misdemeanor charge of operating while intoxicated.
