Ellsworth Police Log Week of Dec. 24
ELLSWORTH A driver attempting to park his vehicle instead drove into a Mill Mall storefront on Dec. 16.
Robert B. Drach, 37, of Tallahassee, Fla., thought he had placed his 2020 Honda sport utility vehicle in park when he pulled in front of Tag’s Sports Bar at 11:55 a.m. But he had not. Then, to compound matters, Drach accidentally stepped on the gas, he told police.
Three plate glass windows were broken in the building, which is owned by Roger Grant of Ellsworth. Drach’s Honda was damaged in the front right corner. The crash report noted that Drach had operated his vehicle in an “erratic, reckless, careless, negligent or aggressive manner.” No drug or alcohol tests were deemed necessary, no personal injuries were reported and, as of the issuance of the report, no charges were filed.
