Juneau man charged with DWI after vehicle crashes into residence Sunday morning

Posted: June 10, 2012 - 3:03pm

An alleged escapade of intoxicated and high-speed driving landed a Juneau man in Lemon Creek Correctional Center on Sunday morning, according to a release from the Juneau Police Department.

JPD received several reports a vehicle crashed into a residence at about the 9.5 mile point on Glacier Highway. One witness said the vehicle traveled at a high rate of speed before striking parked vehicles and hitting the residence, the release states.

After arriving on scene, JPD determined the driver of the vehicle had fled on foot, the release states. Officers located Travis Lies, 22, a short time later at a nearby residence, and arrested him for driving while intoxicated, failure to give immediate notice of an accident and reckless endangerment, the release states. Lies was taken to LCCC.

Damage to the residence Lies allegedly struck is described in the release as “significant.”

It seems as if Travis has

It seems as if Travis has succeeded in complicating his life more than necessary. He must not be overly bright.

Considering the location of the house (and the tight corner for the driveway), I'm surprised he had enough speed to do this kind of damage:

I'm very glad that nobody was hurt - this could have been much, much more tragic.

@Beardscratcher

I'm sorry sir, but you're wrong. While their might be some kids (and adults) on Meth in this town, half or more is preposterous. I do agree there are "alot" of dumb kids in this town and I'd have to group you with them....

Well that's the primary

Well that's the primary problem when driving, that guy is very irresponsible. He does not value the rules of the road so the outcome is "having an accident and injury and also damage in your precious car". It's alright if the car is only damaged because there are many body parts aftermarket out there that you can lean on whenever your car needs replacement. But the injury on your body you cannot replace it immediately like cars and have it fixed instantly that really cannot happen. So i hope that drivers like me will follow the rules of the road and if your gonna drink and get drunk just dont bring your car and just take a cab in order to not cause any accidents. The point here is be disciplined!
