April 03--WATERLOO, Iowa -- Waterloo police didn't have to go far to make a drunken driving arrest Monday night.
All they had to do was listen for the squealing tires and the sound of metal slamming into metal.
The crash happened in the 400 block of East Sixth Street, right next to the police station. When officers went to investigate they found the allegedly intoxicated driver had plowed into a parked squad car.
Demarcus Fitzgerald Green 22, of 2108 Idaho St., was arrested for first-offense operating while intoxicated and driving while suspended. He was released from the Black Hawk County Jail on Tuesday morning.
According to the accident report, Green was heading north on Fourth Street at about 11:10 p.m. in a 2001 Chrysler 300 passenger car when he apparently lost control and hit the drivers side of a 2007 Ford Crown Victoria police car that was parked across the street from the station.
Both cars took an estimated $5,000 damage, the report states.
Green, whose license is suspended until June, had slurred speech and watery eyes, but he declined to take a breath test, according to the report.
