Drunk driver crashes, heads straight to dealership to try to promote damaged automotive with lacking tire

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - Police say they arrested a driver who was 3.5 times the authorized alcohol limit after at the least five people called 911.

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

They are saying witnesses reported seeing a SUV hit the median of the Lloyd Expressway close to the Primary Road exit. They are saying the crash precipitated a flat tire and the car to smoke, but the driver saved going.

Other callers say the driver was everywhere in the road and now lacking a front tire.

They are saying he eventually stopped at a car dealership and appeared “tremendous drunk.”

Employees advised police the driving force, 30-year-old Jordon Mattingly, was making an attempt to sell 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 instances. Officers say he tested .291 on a portable breath check.

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

Mattingly is dealing with several prices.

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