Mark Alan Haugland/Credit: Atchison Co Sheriff
(KAIR)--An Iowa motorist, traveling in Atchison County early Sunday morning, is facing local charges after allegedly crashing into public property while driving under the influence.
According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, 62-year-old Mark Alan Haugland was stopped by a Deputy around 3:45 Sunday morning in the construction zone of U.S. Highway 59, where "the deputy observed that Haugland's vehicle had heavy damage," leading to the belief that the Ford Explorer had recently been involved in a crash, though the deputy could not immediately determine where it had occurred.
Arrested at the traffic stop and then booked into Atchison County Jail connected to a DUI investigation, Haugland saw additional charges added after, Laurie says, a citizen, around 4:00 Sunday afternoon, "reported a possible hit and run in the 12000 block of Sedgwick Road where a utility pole and other items" had been hit by a vehicle, with investigators later determining "that the debris left at the scene matched" Haugland's SUV.
Haugland, of Garner, Iowa now faces DUI related charges as well as failure to stop at an accident.
He was released from custody Tuesday.
