Cape Coral man accused of backing into vehicle at Walmart parking lot, driving away while drunk<\/p>\n

\"LayzaCAPE CORAL, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\n

A Cape Coral man was arrested after officers with the Cape Coral Police department say he caused a crash and immediately drove away from the scene while intoxicated.<\/p>\n

An arrest report says that officers responded to a home on Southwest 6th Avenue on Sept. 10 in response to a hit-and-run crash that had occurred earlier at the parking lot of the Walmart on Pine Island Road.<\/p>\n

The victims told officers that a driver in a black Dodge Ram backed into their vehicle in the parking lot and drove away from the scene. The victims also said that the suspect was driving away at a high speed.<\/p>\n

Officers attempted to locate the owner of the registered Dodge truck, Scott Logan Lambert, 48, at his home but he was not there, the report says.<\/p>\n

CCPD says that they later found the Dodge truck traveling down the road on Southwest 6th Avenue and conducted a traffic stop. Officers identified the driver as Lambert.<\/p>\n

There was visible damage to Lambert’s vehicle, and officers say they saw signs of impairment. Lambert reportedly refused any field sobriety tests, and officers say they noticed a strong scent of alcohol on his breath.<\/p>\n

Lambert was arrested and taken into custody, where he reportedly refused to submit a breathalyzer sample to officers.<\/p>\n

Lambert faces charges of hit and run, DUI, DUI with damage to property, and refusal to submit to DUI testing.<\/p>\n
