Talk about the wrong place at the wrong time: A Waco man was arrested on a charge of driving while intoxicated early Thursday after his car hit the back of a police car, police said.
Martin Flores Jr., 23, became the first person arrested in Waco on New Year’s Day after the early morning accident, said Waco police spokesman Steve Anderson.
Flores was driving a 1997 Pontiac Grand Am west on Waco Drive when the car struck the back of a Waco patrol car stopped in traffic at the intersection with Valley Mills Drive, Anderson said. Neither vehicle was seriously damaged, and no one was injured in the wreck, he said.
However, the officer arrested Flores and took him to the McLennan County Jail, where he was released Thursday afternoon on $2,000 bond, a jail spokeswoman said.
