Aug 19, 2023Police: Petaluma man crashes into roundabout, knocks over light pole in suspected DUI
May 28, 2023A suspected drunken driver was arrested Friday after allegedly crashing his vehicle into the roundabout on Petaluma Boulevard South and knocking over a light pole.
In a statement, Petaluma police said they received a call at around 12:30 a.m. on June 2 that a vehicle had collided with the roundabout at Petaluma Boulevard South and Crystal Lane in a single-car crash, damaging a light pole and "causing it to collapse."
They arrived at the scene to find 47-year-old Eric Miller of Petaluma, the sole occupant of the vehicle, showing "objective signs of alcohol impairment," according to the statement. A breath test administered to Miller indicated his blood alcohol content was at .23%, more than twice the legal limit, police said.
Miller was arrested and transported to the Sonoma County jail on suspicion of drunken driving.
A first-time DUI conviction can lead to an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, police said.
