A Hopkinsville man was arrested Friday after his car crashed into a utility pole, Hopkinsville police reported.
Enrique Montalvo Escobar, 35, of Richard Street, was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, operating a motor vehicle under the influence, driving on a suspended license and driving without insurance.
According to police, Escobar drove his car into a telephone pole near East 17th and South Virginia streets. Escobar abandoned the vehicle and got a ride home without reporting the incident, police said.
When police arrived at Escobar’s residence, they noticed an odor of alcohol on him. Several sobriety tests were conducted and Escobar was judged under the influence, police said.
Escobar was unable to provide any proof of insurance. A records check showed that Escobar’s license was under suspension for driving under the influence.
