(KAIR)--A weekend roll-over wreck sent a Holton man to the hospital, and left him cited for driving under the influence.

According to a report from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, 68-year-old Gerald Gerhardt was driving a 1958 Jeep CJ2 in the area of U.S. Highway 159 and 250th Road, in rural Atchison County, when the roll-over wreck occurred, around 3:45 Saturday afternoon.

Gerhardt, according to the report, “suffered a minor head injury in the crash and was transported by [Atchison County] EMS to Atchison's Amberwell Hospital to receive treatment for injuries sustained in the crash.”

Arrested for driving under the influence and transporting an open container, Laurie says Gerhardt, following hospital care, was released to the Atchison County Jail.
