OWI for Driver of Badly Damaged Car

(La Porte County, IN) - A man driving a car that seemed to have been in a bad accident was arrested in Wanatah for operating while intoxicated.

 

According to La Porte County Police, the 1998 Honda Accord had a shattered windshield, heavy damage to both sides and auto parts were dragging from the car when it pulled into Speedway at U.S. 30 and U.S. 421 early Saturday.

 

The car was followed into the parking lot by a Starke County Police officer, who first observed the vehicle swerving along with speeding up and slowing down.

 

Brandon Robinson, 27, of Holland, Michigan was charged with an alleged blood alcohol level slightly more than two times the legal limit.   The charge was upgraded to a felony because of a prior OWI conviction in Michigan from 2018.
