Monday — Derek M. Coss, 25, of Boyers was charged with drunken driving stemming from a traffic stop last month on Hindman Road. Police said they stopped him about 1:30 a.m. Sept. 2 after they saw his car cross the white fog line once and the center line twice.

Additionally, police said, they estimated his car was traveling 61 mph in a 35 mph zone.

He was given field sobriety tests and a preliminary breath test at the scene. Police eventually took him to the state police barracks for a formal breath test that showed his blood-alcohol level was 0.138 percent. A level of 0.08 percent is considered intoxicated under state law.

Coss is charged with driving under the influence, driving with a suspended license, driving an unregistered vehicle, disregarding traffic lanes and speeding.

9:55 a.m. Oct. 10 — Jorge L. Perez Burgos, 43, of Butler was arrested after he allegedly punched a Lyndora man in the face during an altercation outside a methadone clinic on Hindman Road. The 59-year-old victim suffered a facial fracture.

Perez Burgos was arraigned on a felony charge of aggravated assault, a misdemeanor charge of simple assault and a summary charge of harassment. He was released on his own recognizance following arraignment.

Police said they reviewed surveillance video of the incident, according to court documents, which showed the defendant walk out of the clinic into the parking lot, and call the other man over to him.

“Perez Burgos is then seen striking (the victim) in the face one time,” documents said.

Police eventually spoke with the defendant, who admitted that he punched the victim after he claimed the other man made a racist remark to him.

2:09 a.m. Saturday — A Lawrence County teenager was arrested for drunken driving after his pickup truck struck a staircase attached to a deck at an apartment complex on the 300 block of Grove City Road.

The defendant, Michael E. Burns, 19, of New Wilmington, was standing next to the truck when police got there. The pickup had moderate front-end damage and pieces of the staircase were strewn about the ground, police said.

Burns, according to court documents, claimed he was unaware of an accident. Police said when they asked him what happened, he replied, “What do you mean?”

A tenant who was home at the time recounted that he heard a “loud crash,” police said, and he felt the building shake. He said he went outside and saw the defendant backing up his truck from the damaged staircase.

Burns initially told an officer that he had “one or two” beers earlier in the evening, documents said. He later admitted having “three or four beers.”

He also would subsequently acknowledge having “bumped into the front rail” of the apartment complex, police said, but he did not believe he caused any significant damage.

Police said he failed field sobriety tests and was taken for a breath test that showed his blood-alcohol level was 0.137 percent.

In Pennsylvania, drivers under 21 are considered to be intoxicated with a blood-alcohol level of 0.02 percent or higher. The legal limit for adult drivers is 0.08 percent.

Burns is charged with driving under the influence, DUI by a minor, underage drinking and minors prohibited from driving with any alcohol in their system.

The truck was stopped in the oncoming lane and the engine was off, police said. The keys were in the ignition and the truck’s transmission was engaged. A trooper subsequently told Fowler to put the truck in park.

The defendant failed field sobriety tests and he was taken for a breath test that showed his blood-alcohol level was 0.095 percent. A level of 0.08 percent is considered intoxicated under state law.
