LAKEPORT, Calif. – Police arrested a Lakeport man on suspicion of driving under the influence following an early Sunday morning single-vehicle rollover.

Marc David Jacoban Jr., 23, sustained minor injuries in the crash, with initial blood alcohol tests showing he was at more than three times the legal limit – .08 percent – at the time of the wreck, according to a report from Lakeport Police Department Officer Michael Sobieraj.

Sobieraj said that officers were dispatched to Martin Street near the intersection of S. Forbes Street at 12:32 a.m. for a rollover vehicle collision involving a silver Mazda 3 sedan. Initial reports indicated the male driver was still inside the vehicle.

When officers arrived they found Jacoban, the solo occupant and driver, had extricated himself from the vehicle and was sitting on the curb with obvious signs of injury, Sobieraj said.

Lakeport Fire Department medical personnel arrived and evaluated Jacoban, finding he had only minor injuries, according to Sobieraj.

Sobieraj said officers determined through their investigation that Jacoban was impaired and driving under the influence of alcohol, with initial blood alcohol tests showing he was more than three times the legal limit.  

The collision investigation found that Jacoban had left the south roadway of Martin Street, struck the curb then proceeded over the curb and hit a stone fence at a residence. The vehicle then flipped over, landing on its roof, Sobieraj said.

Sobieraj reported that Jacoban was arrested and booked on misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence of alcohol, driving with a blood alcohol level greater than .08 percent and vandalism.  

Jail records showed that Jacoban's bail was set at $15,000. He later posted the required percentage of bail and was released.

The Lakeport Police Department reminded drivers that it has zero tolerance for driving under the influence of alcohol and or drugs, and will take all necessary action to keep the community safe on city streets.
