Police officers responded to a wreck in Casper, Wyoming, and found a drunk man trying to spin a wild story. He claimed that he was chasing his stolen truck when it crashed against bridge guard rails. The man also said his neighbors were drug dealers. 

Wyoming DUI suspect says he was chasing his stolen truck 

Police officers responded to a wreck on Robertson Road Ridge and spotted a 28-year-old man in a hoodie running away from the scene. The man refused to stop, so an officer tackled him. He had a strong odor of alcohol and a creative story to tell. 

He claimed that he heard his truck horn going off because that’s the sound it makes when it starts. Then he chased the stolen truck on foot and saw it make a U-turn. Allegedly, that’s when he or they struck the guardrail. 

The man kept correcting the story by saying ‘they’ after telling it in the first person. According to Oil City, the truck traveled about 60 yards along a guard rail before getting wedged at the end of the bridge. 

Then the suspect claimed that his truck was easy to steal because he always left his phone and keys in it so those items would be there in the morning when he went to work. 

He mentioned that his neighbors were drug dealers, so they probably stole it. Plus, he ran from the cops because he was scared. 

The officers saw through his story and charged him with his third DUI in the past 10 years and for not having auto insurance.
