A witness to a September car crash accused the driver of being “on something.”

That “something,” police claim, was a combination of Kamchatka vodka and Twisted Tea.

Todd Joseph Curtin, 45, of Zelienople, is charged with felony fleeing the scene of an accident to avoid apprehension, along with misdemeanor reckless endangerment, various drunken-driving charges and traffic violations, all related to an alleged hit-and-run in early September.

Just before 10 a.m. Sept. 9, the Evans City-Seven Fields Regional Police Department was dispatched to a car crash on West Main Street at Pattison Street in Evans City. At the scene, police say, a bystander yelled for help and told officers a man ran from the vehicle.

Another bystander told police the man who fled the scene was “now attempting to break into a residence,” according to police, leading an Evans City officer to go to the house.

At the house, a police affidavit said, “blood could be seen smeared on the windows of the rear door and on the back porch.”

Toward the front of the house, an officer found Curtin covered in blood, the affidavit said, holding in his left hand an “empty half gallon of Kamchatka 80 proof vodka.”

Police ordered him to the ground at gunpoint, according to the affidavit, and the man was transported to a hospital for suspected injuries including a possible broken forearm.

A witness described the driver of the vehicle involved in the accident as matching Curtin's appearance, according to police, and another tried helping the driver, who refused assistance, and claimed they believed “Curtin was 'on something.'”

At the hospital, the affidavit states, Curtin's blood alcohol content measured at 0.382%, nearly five times the legal limit of 0.08%.

A Sept. 14 search warrant on the vehicle yielded 13 empty 12-ounce cans of Twisted Tea, along with seven full cans.

Curtin has not yet been arraigned.
