A Casey County man arrested after causing a distrubance in the early morning hours Friday.

Deputy Jayson Grider with Casey County Sheriff's Office responded to the call shortly before 2am, about 13 miles east of Liberty on Clear Branch Rd.  While en route to the scene, the caller stated the man was in a 2004 Chevy truck, tearing up the yard and causing damage to the property owner, Eddie Richardson's Chevy truck.

Upon arrival, deputies learned that 22 year old Dakota J. Smithers, of 175 Neff Rd., Liberty, had flipped his truck and fled on foot. He was located about a half mile from the residence.

Mr. Smithers stated that he was too drunk to perform field sobriety tests, and admitted to drinking Fireball liquor and beer. The arrest citation states Smithers had poor balance, slurred speech, and a strong odor of alcohol. He also caused damage to Mr. Richardson's mobile home by punching holes in the drywall and busting the glass in the storm door.

Smithers was lodged in the Casey County Jail on charges of DUI, Reckless Driving, & Criminal Mischief-1st Degree.
