Battle Creek Man Arrested For DUI After Hitting 5 Parked Cars
Battle Creek police arrested a man for DUI after he allegedly hit 5 parked vehicles, some with occupants including a newborn.
Battle Creek police were called at 12:58 p.m. Tuesday to the 2100 block of West Columbia Avenue on multiple reports of a pick-up truck striking mailboxes on 31st Street then 5 vehicles parked at Meijer, Big Boy Restaurant and Mancino's.
There were no injuries but two of the vehicles were occupied. One of the occupants included a newborn child, according to the Battle Creek Enquirer.
