An allegedly intoxicated Washington man was arrested Wednesday afternoon after causing a disturbance at a Loogootee residence.
At 3:52 P.M. Wednesday, Martin County dispatchers received a 911 call from a female who said a male was banging on the front door of her home and refusing to leave. Fearing for her safety, the female took her four year old child and left out of a back door of the residence, going to a neighbor’s home without the male knowing.
Troopers arrived at the home and found a male, 33 year old Derek Worland of Washington, that appeared to be extremely intoxicated. Officers learned that Worland had driven from Washington to Loogootee and had been at the residence for about 15 minutes prior to their arrival.
Through the investigation, Troopers found that Worland had a blood alcohol content of .32%, four times the legal driving limit of .08%. Worland was placed under arrest for Operating While Intoxicated, Public Intoxication, and Intimidation, and was lodged in the Martin County Jail.
