(Michigan City, IN) - Over the weekend La Porte County Sheriff’s deputies pulled extra duty patrolling the Michigan City boat races. One of them was in the right place at the right time to intercept an alleged drunk driver bulldozing through a pedestrian area.

Around midnight Friday an officer was monitoring a parking lot at Washington Park, which was full of racing boats and vendors’ booths. Suddenly a 2012 Honda Pilot came cruising through the fenced-off area. It was dragging with it metal posts with concrete bases and green snow fencing.

Upon stopping the vehicle, police say the driver could not open his door due to the fencing being wrapped around the vehicle. In the center console of the Honda, officers noted three cans of beer—one empty, one half-full, and one unopened.

The driver, 51-yar-old Bibiano Rosas Quino of Michigan City, was arrested for OWI. A passenger, Quino’s wife, who did not have a valid driver’s license, was allowed to call for a ride, and officers moved the Honda to a proper parking spot.
