Incomplete Repair

Clare County, Mich., sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle at a house in Hayes Township. The deputy found the SUV had in fact crashed into the house and, worse, he alleged the driver was drunk, with a blood alcohol level measured at .24 percent. David Wesley Wright, 38, claimed he had just finished a repair on his Dodge Durango and was taking it for a “test drive” — at 1:30 a.m. Wright was arrested and charged with third offense drunken driving, and held on $10,000 bond.
