ANTWERP TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) - A man was arrested after he admitted to being drunk at the scene of a car accident.
Travis Radtke, a 32-year-old Kalamazoo area resident, was driving around 1 a.m. Thursday in the 22000 block of Red Arrow Highway in Van Buren County's Antwerp Township.
His vehicle veered off the road and struck a tree, police said.
Deputies arrived and noticed the man was not hurt from the wreck.
They asked him what happened and he replied he "had way too much to drink to be driving and must have fallen asleep," according to a news release.
Radtke was taken into custody under the state’s new “super drunk law" on a felony charge of operating while intoxicated (third offense.)
