A Louisville man was arrested early Thursday morning after police say he damaged two homes with his car, abandoned his car and fled the scene on foot.
Bryce Overstreet, 30, is charged with wanton endangerment (first degree), operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of a controlled substance, leaving the scene of an accident/failing to render aid, criminal mischief (first degree) and failure to produce insurance card.
At about 2:15 a.m., Louisville Metro Police officers responded to an injury accident in the 4600 block of Roxann Boulevard, located in the Buechel neighborhood.
A Silver Ford Edge, which was later confirmed to be Overstreet’s vehicle, was found left at the scene. An officer saw fireball shots on the passenger floor of the vehicle.
Investigators believe Overstreet struck a crosswalk light before striking two homes. One home sustained severe damage while the other received moderate damage from the crash, according to Overstreet’s arrest citation.
A witness told police he was sleeping in the living room when Overstreet drove his car into the house.
The witness said he saw a man wearing a red shirt and ball cap flee the scene, carrying a case of beer.
Officers found Overstreet in the 5900 block of Bannon Crossings Drive, approximately a 25-minute walk from the scene of the crash. He confirmed his name, which matched the owner of the vehicle left on scene, and was arrested.
Overstreet is currently being held at Louisville Metro Department of Corrections on a $5,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on November 13.
