LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A Cobb man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence late Saturday night following a crash near Kelseyville.
David William Mettler, 31, was arrested as a result of the crash, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Kory Reynolds.
On Saturday night Mettler was driving his 2000 Chevrolet pickup eastbound on Bottle Rock Road at an unknown speed when he allowed his vehicle to cross the double yellow lines and side swipe a 1997 Toyota 4Runner driven by Andrew Chinnock, 33, also of Cobb, Reynolds said.
Reynolds said Chinnock was transported to St Helena-Clearlake Hospital with complaint of pain to his head, neck, back and wrist.
Mettler was uninjured in the collision, Reynolds said.
Lake County Jail records indicated that Mettler was arrested on two felony counts of driving under the influence of alcohol causing bodily injury, and misdemeanors of driving without a license and an outside agency arrest warrant.
He was booked with bail set at $30,000. Lake County Jail records showed that he remained in custody on Monday afternoon.
