Drunk driver crashes, heads straight to dealership to try to promote broken automobile with lacking tire

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - Police say they arrested a driver who was 3.5 times the legal alcohol limit after at least five folks known as 911.

Officers say the calls started coming in round 4:40 p.m. Monday.

They say witnesses reported seeing a SUV hit the median of the Lloyd Expressway close to the Predominant Avenue exit. They are saying the crash prompted a flat tire and the automobile to smoke, but the driver kept going.

Other callers say the motive force was everywhere in the road and now missing a entrance tire.

They are saying he finally stopped at a automobile dealership and appeared “super drunk.”

Workers instructed police the driver, 30-year-old Jordon Mattingly, was trying to promote his SUV.

Police say he had swelling and scratches as if he had simply been in a crash.

They say Mattingly smelled of alcohol and virtually fell a number of occasions. Officers say he tested .291 on a transportable breath check.

Police say inside his SUV, they found Four Loko cans and a can of White Claw.

Mattingly is facing several expenses.

He is the son of the supervisor for the Miami Marlins and former professional baseball player, Don Mattingly.
