Officers were responding to a call of an erratic driver at 7:10 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 9, when several more calls came in of a crash on Commonwealth Drive, a block up from Teaneck Road, Capt. Michael Ferrante said.

There they found David Pharr, 32, in the Cherokee, Ferrante said.

The vehicle had crashed through a wall into the dining room, according to the owner's daughter.

Pharr was taken to nearby Holy Name Medical Center for a physical evaluation before police processed him on DWI and reckless driving charges, the captain said Thursday.

They impounded the Jeep and released Pharr to the custody of a family member under John's Law, he said.

No residents were injured, Ferrante said. Firefighters deemed the residence structurally sound, he added.
