GP Police Arrested Motorist for DUII after He Crashed into Parked Car on NW A

Grants Pass Police arrested a motorist for impaired driving after he crashed into a parked vehicle near the downtown area this week.

The Police Department reports officers and emergency crews responded to the two-vehicle collision in the 500-block of NW A Street on Tuesday night.

Police were alerted to an incident in which the male driver of a Jeep Wrangler collided with a parked vehicle and was trying to take off. Witnesses reported the driver seemed to be impaired. He was lone occupant and no one was hurt.

Upon arrival, officers contacted 26-year-old Brendan Scott Hobgood who admitted to consuming alcohol and smoking marijuana before driving and crashing. They said he consented to field sobriety tests, but was unable to complete them due to his high level of impairment.

Hobgood was placed into custody and transported to the Sobering Center where he provided breath and urine samples. He was cited to appear in court for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants and released to his mother.
