One of the damaged signs was wedged into the front bumper of his Kia when police found Kenneth Nelson, 53, several blocks away, Police Chief Jacqueline Luthcke said.
After at first driving into oncoming traffic and on the sidewalk on Cottage Street, Nelson continued down Franklin Avenue to North Maple Avenue around 6 p.m. Wednesday, Luthcke said.
He made it to East Glen Avenue, where “he made a U-turn in the intersection and hit a vehicle,” the chief said. “He continued back down North Maple before officers located the vehicle on South Irving.”
A host of motor vehicle summonses were pending against Nelson, who was charged criminally with DWI and leaving the scene of a crash before being released to a responsible adult, Luthcke said.
No injuries were reported.
The vehicle was removed by tow truck.
