Driver Tears Up
Fences, Sidewalk,
In Wild Ride
A pickup truck tore down 100
feet of fence, drove through two
private yards, and tore up ten feet
of sidewalk; Friday iltwiwwi;-.
PoIicp Chief Ossie L, Sutton of
Hazelwood said It "was the worst
case of reckless driving I've seen
in my 13 years of police work."
Two young Hazelwood men were
fined $200 and court costs by Hazel
wood Mayor Clyde Fisher In police
court a few minutes after they
were apprehended by Deputy Sher
iff Wade McDanlel.
The driver was charged with
drunk driving, and the passenger,
described by Chief Sutton as the
owner of the truck, was charged
with aiding, abetting, and allow
ing the truck to be driven by a per
son under the influence of intoxi
cating liquor.
Both pleaded guilty to the
charges.
Chief Sutton said the truck left
the street near the Hazelwood Bap
tist Church, crossed the sidewalk,
knocked down the gate of a house,
crossed the yard and travelled into
a neighbor's yard.
On the way It side-swiped a tree,
and on the way out of the second
yard it crashed through another
fence.
The truck was halted by Deputy
McDaniel near the Haywood Coun
ty Court House 20 minutes later
following a search by sheriff's de
puties, state highway patrolmen,
and Waynesville town officers, aid
ing Chief Sutton.
Chief Sutton said the two de
fendants also were ordered to re
place the damaged fences and side
walk. The destruction amounted to a
bout $250, he estimated.
"It was just luck," he comment
ed. Usually at that time of the day,
children are playing in those front
yards.
; "This time, however, they just
happened to be empty."
