Drunk driver caught with BAC more than 4 times legal limit after Troy hit-and-run crash

A driver with a blood alcohol content level more than four times the legal limit was arrested after leaving a Troy crash on foot last week, police said. 

Officers were called to Garry Drive near John R just after 12:20 p.m. on reports of a hit-and-run crash with the suspect walking through backyards in the area while a witness followed him. When police arrived, they found a 43-year-old Troy man who smelled like alcohol.

The suspect was taken to the Troy jail, where he submitted to a chemical breath test with results of .307 and .325. Driving with a BAC of .08 or greater is illegal in Michigan.

He is now facing charges of third-offense operating while intoxicated and failure to stop after a collision.
