PENN TWP — Police on Monday arrested a 65-year-old Forward Township man on felony and other charges stemming from a suspected drunken driving crash in August when his pickup truck struck a man walking along the road.

Penn Township police said the suspect, Thomas Michael Gray, did not stop after his truck hit 23-year-old Clayton Shemela of Butler.

Shemela suffered a broken arm and other injuries in the Aug. 24 crash in the 6100 block of Monroe Road.

District Judge Sue Haggerty arraigned Gray on charges of aggravated assault by vehicle while driving under the influence and accidents involving injury, both felonies.

Additionally, he is charged with DUI, failing to immediately notify police of an accident, failing to stop and render aid after an accident and careless driving. He is free on $10,000 unsecured bail.

Police suspect Gray was eastbound on Monroe Road about 6:35 p.m. when his 1998 GMC Sierra’s passenger side mirror hit Shemela.

When officers found the victim he was unable to move his right arm or hand, which appeared to be seriously injured, according to court documents. He also had cuts on his left fingers.

Shemela told police that the truck never slowed down or stopped after hitting him. He provided officers with a good description of the hit-and-run vehicle before being taken to the hospital.

Police said Shemela was eventually diagnosed with a broken right humerus bone.

A short time after the crash, police in neighboring Middlesex Township spotted the truck and pulled over Gray, who appeared to be intoxicated, documents said.

Police said they also noticed an empty beer can on the pickup’s front floor.

After failing field sobriety tests, the defendant was taken to UPMC Passavant Cranberry for a blood test.

Toxicology results later showed his blood-alcohol level was 0.149 percent, documents said. A level of 0.08 percent is considered intoxicated under state law.

A preliminary hearing for Gray is set Nov. 27 at Haggerty’s office in Saxonburg.
