Monday — Police charged Derek E. Morter, 32, of Butler with being more than three times the state's legal limit for alcohol stemming from a hit-and-run crash last month on the 800 block of Center Avenue.

Morter was allegedly driving a pickup truck that reportedly hit a utility pole and a building around 7:30 p.m. July 29, and drove away. A pizza delivery driver saw the truck leave the scene, called 911 and followed the truck, according to court documents.

Police a short time later found Morter on Fairview Avenue near Center Avenue. He eventually was taken to Butler Memorial Hospital for a blood test, which allegedly showed his blood alcohol level was 0.26 percent. In Pennsylvania, a level of 0,08 percent is considered intoxicated.

Morter is charged with driving under the influence and hit-and-run.
