Don’t Park Here!

Tag: GeneralPaul C. @ 12:27 pm

Can’t believe we didn’t blog about this. A week or so ago, we had something interesting happen to the house across the street from us. I was fast asleep, Sean (visiting from Seattle) was just heading for bed, and Emily was asleep as well. Around 2AM, both Sean and Emily heard a loud CRASH from outside the house. Emily looked out the bathroom window, and a neighbor’s work truck was up in our lawn with its front end smashed in. Moments later, another CRASH followed, this time from out front.
Apparently, a drunk driver in a Dodge Dakota R/T (5.9l V8 in a light weight truck) slammed into the Chevy S10 outside our house, lost control further, careened through one yard/driveway missing a tree, and into the next house taking out their garage door, two brick columns and missing the car in the drive way by about three inches!
Sean ran out and saw the guy – totally hammered, get out of his truck and start to stumble/walk away! Sean tried to stop him but the guy just wanted out of there. So, Sean ran back into the house and grabbed a video camera and taped the next part of the evening.
The cops showed up and brought out the police dog and they sniffed out the guy, who was hiding in the bog/woods behind the houses. When they dragged him out, his pants were around his ankles and his tighty whities were quite muddy 😉

Thankfully, no one was hurt! Well…almost no one:
oops!

    Did they get their house fixed yet?

  2. Paul C. says:

    Not yet. They think it will start next week. The house is boarded up right now.
    Guy had a court date on Tuesday. He actually plead not guilty! He was being charged with a felony for wanton endangerment or something like that because he was so hammered and w/o a license or insurance.

  3. Ashley says:

    Are they still living in the house even though it’s boarded?!

  4. Paul C. says:

    Yeah. Its just the garage thats boarded up. Front door and stuff is still usable

  5. Sean C says:

    So what’s up with the video anyhow??? It might be shaky, but it has some great shots!
