MAN STOPS TO HELP STUCK MOTORIST

GETS ARRESTED FOR OVI

Elyria – Elyria Police responded to the Leo Bullocks Parkway around 3am Saturday morning after receiving reports of a possible car crash with one car on fire.

When Officers arrived they found two cars off the road stuck in the snow – one fully involved.

It turned out that there was no crash – It turned out that one car went off the road and got stuck in the snow, another man who saw this turned around to help. He then ended up getting his car stuck in the snow too.

While trying to get the first car out of the snow it burst into flames, everybody fled the car to safety at that point.

Elyria Firefighters arrived a short time later and extinguished the blaze.

While talking to the man who stopped to help Officers noticed signs of impairment and wanted to have the man perform a field sobriety test. Upset over the thought of being arrested for OVI, the man began cursing at the Officers – the F word was the man’s favorite that night.

Police took the man into custody – it was then that the man began crying and telling Officers that he had just received an OVI and didn’t want or need another.
