Dec. 15--ROCK HILL -- A man is accused of driving drunk and hitting a car while in the drive-thru at McDonald's early Wednesday morning, police say.
Derek Lamonds Wylie, 40, of Rock Hill has been charged with driving under the influence, police say.
A woman said she was in the McDonald's drive-thru on Cherry Road near Winthrop University when a Toyota behind her hit her car from behind, according to a Rock Hill police report.
Officers detected a strong smell of alcohol on the driver, who was identified as Wylie, the report states. His words were slurred, and while searching for paperwork, he lost his balance several times, police say.
Wylie told officers he had had three beers at his home and was hungry, so he went to McDonald's, the report states. When asked to recall the time, he was two hours behind and failed several drunk-driving tests, according to the report.
Police say Wylie blew a 0.21 on a breath analysis test. The legal limit in South Carolina is 0.08 percent.
His license was suspended and he was charged with driving under the influence, the report states.
