A DUI suspect in Texas saved himself a trip to a holding cell when he crashed into the Hidalgo County Courthouse over the weekend, authorities say.
The incident occurred at about 7:30 a.m. on Saturday when the unidentified 21-year-old motorist apparently lost control of his Ford F-150, crashed through an iron fence surrounding the courthouse and then drove through a second fence protecting an air conditioning unit, according to the Edinburg Police Department. Although the suspect got out of his vehicle and ran, a good Samaritan caught and detained him until officers arrived, police say.
Charges against the unidentified man, who was found to be carrying an unlawful weapon, are pending, police say.
