KEY WEST, FL (AP) -- Key West Police say a man charged with D-U-I thought he was in the Big Apple. When a police officer asked what city he was in, 18-year-old Thomas Platt answered, "New York."
Officials say the teen drove his car onto the Sunset Pier, dragging a broken light pole 25 feet up Duval Street behind his car. He then made a left turn onto a wooden dock walkway.
Witnesses say Platt drove back down the way he came, hit two light poles, a wooden bench, some bushes and a sign.
The officer who stopped Platt says the teen had slurred speech and fumbled for his papers. The driver was arrested after he failed a sobriety test. He's charged with D-U-I, careless driving and leaving the scene of a crash with property damage, estimated at about 10-thousand dollars |
