Michigan Man Arrested for OWI After Beating up Car
We all get pissed at our vehicle sometimes. But probably not the best idea to take a baseball bat to your car. In public. While drunk.
The Petoskey News reports that 33-year-old Chad Johnson of Harbor Springs is facing multiple charges after beating up his car.
State police were responding to a report of a man in a parking lot bashing his car with a bat, when on the way they spotted the vehicle on M-119 near Pickerel Lake Road in Emmet County.
They pulled Johnson over and found a baseball bat on the passenger seat and that he appeared intoxicated.
Police discovered Johnson was driving on a suspended license and had an open alcohol container in the car.
When asked why he was smashing up his car, Johnson said that it was always giving him problems.
