A 39-year-old was arrested on a drunken driving charge after a Chevy Tahoe Sunday struck a brick wall at Foodland IGA on Sunday.
The property manager estimated repairs would cost $40,000 to $50,000. Bricks were broken, and the wall was cracked and bowing.
The alleged driver, Joshua J. Hunnel, was arrested for felony driving while intoxicated, refusal to submit to a breath test and failure to provide immediate notice of accident.
According to a Juneau Police Department news release, at about 4:50 p.m., police responded to a report that the green Chevy Tahoe Hunnel struck the IGA wall.
Officers learned the Tahoe had left the area quickly.
At about 5:18 p.m., an officer located the SUV parked outside an apartment complex on Northwood Drive with damage consistent with the collision reported.
Hunnel was found in a nearby residence and arrested. He was taken to Lemon Creek Correctional Center.
Hunnel’s arraignment was scheduled for Monday afternoon.
