SHAMOKIN - Charles Brunson, 28, of Market Street, Shamokin, was taken into custody by Shamokin police on suspicion of driving under the influence after he swiped into at least one parked car and crashed into the curb on Pine Street near the intersection of Fourth Street shortly after 3 p.m. Sunday.
Police were originally called by a driver following Brunson who said he may have been unresponsive behind the wheel at Second and Pine streets, said Shamokin Patrolman Ray Siko III.
Brunson's red Dodge Durango, which had a flat rear driver's side tire and a bent front passenger's side wheel and heavy damage to the front bumper, was towed from the scene.
The black SUV he struck, owned by Mary Moyer, of the 500 Block of West Pine Street, had a scrape along the driver's side door.
Siko escorted Brunson to Geisinger-Shamokin Area Community Hospital for blood alcohol testing.
