BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A Bowling Green man is facing charges after deputies say he operated a motor vehicle while under the influence.

According to a uniform citation, the Warren County Sheriff’s Office responded Monday to the 100 block of Tony Avenue for a possible drunk driver around 4:40 p.m.

Deputies say the caller stated a silver Chey truck had struck a stop sign and drove through two neighbors’ yards.

Authorities say they confirmed the vehicle was registered to Zackary Stahl, 36, of Bowling Green.

Upon arrival at a residence, deputies say they spoke to a family member of Stahl’s, who confirmed Stahl had possibly struck a stop sign and was under the influence.

Deputies say the silver truck was in the driveway and had a flat front tire and minor scratches.

According to the sheriff’s office, a stop sign at Tony Avenue and Drakesborough Avenue is estimated to cost over $500 to repair.

Stahl stated he did not recall hitting the stop sign, deputies say.

Stahl was arrested and administered a preliminary breath test, which deputies say measured at .363.

Stahl was transported to the Warren County Detention Center. He is charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, first offense (aggravated circumstances) and first-degree criminal mischief.
