Man suspected of DUI after crash at mall in Arcadia
ARCADIA -- Police arrested a man on suspicion of driving with a blood-alcohol level at twice the legal limit after he crashed and sheared of a fire hydrant at the Westfield Santa Anita shopping mall early Friday, authorities said.
Michael Frye, 25, of Ontario was booked on suspicion of drunken driving in connection with the 1 a.m. crash in a parking lot at the south end of the mall, Arcadia police Lt. Roy Nakamura said.
Officers responded to reports of a car shearing off a hydrant and found the driver, later identified as Frye, appeared to be drunk, the lieutenant said.
A breath analysis indicated Frye's blood-alcohol level was at .16 -- twice the legal limit of .08, police said.
