A Florida man has been charged, after law enforcement said he was driving drunk when he caused a crash in Mexico, Mo.
On Sunday, Mexico police officers were called to the 1500 block of North Olive for a report of a crash.
Court documents state that a 2022 Dodge Ram pulling a gooseneck trailer had hit several vehicles, driven through yards, hit a house, and then left the scene.
A witness said a man, Luis Soberon-Companioni, 32, of Brandon, FL, was angry and had been yelling.
They said he got into the truck and backed up, hitting a 2002 Ford truck, pushing it into the yard.
Companioni then drove north into a dead-end in the 1600 block of North Olive.
The documents said Companioni, while trying to turn around, drove through the yard, over some small trees and bushes, and hit a residence, damaging the porch.
Companioni then drove off and hit a parked 2022 Jeep. That pushed the Jeep into a 2020 Jeep.
Officers were able to find the truck on Love Street, near Jefferson Street.
They arrested Companioni and took him to the Mexico Public Safety Department.
Officers said Companioni refused to give a breath sample to determine his blood alcohol content.
While the officers got a warrant to take a blood draw to determine his BAC, they said that Companioni fought against the procedure.
Officers said that Companioni started kicking his legs, hitting one of them in the groin.
Prosecutors charged Companioni with felony counts of Leaving the Scene Of Accident – Property Damage Exceeding $1,000 and Tampering With Physical Evidence in Felony Prosecution.
They also charged him with DWI, Fourth Degree Assault – Special Victims, and two counts of Leaving Scene Of Accident.
He was being held on a $25,000 bond in the Audrain County Jail.
