A Wichita man was arrested after the wrecker he was in was found against a box truck in a church parking lot.
At approximately 6 a.m. Wednesday, an officer noticed a Kidd's Towing wrecker resting against a box truck in the parking lot of Trinity Lutheran Church at S. Ninth Street and W. Crawford Street, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.
The officer pulled into the parking lot to investigate and allegedly found the driver of the wrecker, Alberto Garcia, 25, of Wichita, passed out in the driver's seat, Forrester said.
It appeared that the wrecker had been westbound, crossed S. Ninth Street, entered the church parking lot, and struck the box truck, he said.
The wrecker, a 2019 Freightliner, sustained minor front-end damage and the box truck, a 2015 Ford Econoline E350, sustained minor rear-end damage.
Forrester said Garcia was arrested on the requested charges of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and careless driving.
