2 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, February 2, 2000 DIT i J os oo MUR 0 p= J I a Plains man faces charges after fleeing accident in Kingston Twp. Kingston Twp. police say Kevin Phillips, 38, of 42 Cottage Ave., Plains, fled the scene of an acci- dent at the intersection of Rt. 309 and Carverton Rd. According to an affidavit of probable cause, Kingston Twp. officer Martin ‘Maransky and Dallas Borough officer William Norris responded to the reported accident Dec. 4. When they arrived, witnesses said the driver of a pickup truck, ap- parently intoxicated, had fled the scene. Maransky investigated the truck and saw a cooler containing several cans of beer on the front seat, and one can spilled in the cab. Ibbotson and Norris checked local businesses for the suspect, then found him hiding in a nearby creek. Ibbotson said when he or- dered Phillips to come out, he instead tried to flee up a bank on the other side of the creek. The officers caught up to him, re- strained him and asked him to stand up. The police report said Phillips could not stand, and the two officers had to carry him down the bank and across the creek. When they searched Phillips, officers found a prescription for generic Valium, which Phillips said he had taken. Phillips re- fused to give his name and ad- dress, but a hunting license in plain view in the truck carried his identification. Taken to Wilkes- Barre General Hospital for a blood test, Phillips refused. Officers called Bernard Dubaskas, a state probation officer and learned that Phillips was under his supervi- sion. The suspect was then taken to Luzerne County prison. In addition to driving under the influence, Phillips will face charges of disorderly conduct and failure to report an accident. ~ DUI CHARGES e John Arnold, 43, of RR 1, Box 197A, Harveys Lake, arrested at about 2:30 a.m. Sept. 26 by Harveys Lake police officer James Karlowicz, who saw a car driven by Arnold crossing over lanes on Rt. 415. After he was stopped, Arnold had trouble getting his driver information from the glove box, and Karlowicz noticed a sub- stance that looked like marijuana in a plastic bag in the glove box. Karlowicz said in an affidavit of probable cause that after taking a step in a field sobriety test, Arnold said, “I can’tdoit. You got me, just arrest me.” Ablood test measured .22 percent alcohol and chemi- cals consistent with marijuana use. * Chester Smith, 47, arrested just after 2 a.m. Nov. 6 by John Richards of the Harveys Lake po- lice department, after Richards saw a van being driven erratically on Rt. 415. Smith, who first iden- tified himselfas Charles E. Smith, was asked to perform field sobri- ety tests, but said he had a bad leg, Richards reported in an affi- davit of probable cause. After he was taken to Wilkes-Barre Gen- eral Hospital for chemical testing, which he refused, Smith gave Richards his correct name. In addition to DUI, Smith faces charges of driving while his li- cense is suspended, careless driv- ing and disregarding a traffic lane. e Robin B.
