A 29 year-old Bowling Green man was arrested on Thursday for driving under the influence and assaulting a police officer in the third degree.
On November 12, the Bowling Green Police Department responded to a report of an injury collision in the area of 916 College Street. The witness told dispatch they had seen a white pickup truck hit a light pole in the area of Fountain Square Park in downtown Bowling Green.
Officers arrived on the scene and found a pickup truck on the curb and a light pole completely knocked over in the 400 block of Park Row. Jacob Vice was found in the driver seat of the vehicle.
Vice reportedly told officers he had consumed too much alcohol and hit the light pole. Officers said Vice’s speech was slurred, his eyes were watery and he was fumbling over his words. Vice was unable to walk to the patrol vehicle on his own. The insurance card in the vehicle was expired.
Vice was taken to Med Center Health in Bowling Green for a blood draw. The citation states that Vice was extremely difficult and violent during his time there. He reportedly threatened to physically harm an officer.
An officer then attempted to handcuff Vice and while doing so, Vice kicked the officer in the shoulder.
Vice was then medically cleared and lodged in the Warren County Regional Jail under a $6,000 cash bond.
Vice is charged with:
Criminal mischief – first degree
Assault of a police officer – third degree
Operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol
Terroristic threatening – third degree
Disorderly conduct – second degree
Failure of owner to maintain required insurance or registration – first offense
He is scheduled to appear in court on November 13.
