Drunk driver crashes, heads straight to dealership to try to sell damaged automotive with missing tire

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - Police say they arrested a driver who was 3.5 times the legal alcohol limit after at the least 5 people called 911.

Officers say the calls started coming in around 4:40 p.m. Monday.

They say witnesses reported seeing a SUV hit the median of the Lloyd Expressway close to the Essential Road exit. They say the crash triggered a flat tire and the car to smoke, but the driver stored going.

Different callers say the driving force was all around the highway and now missing a front tire.

They are saying he ultimately stopped at a car dealership and appeared “super drunk.”

Workers advised police the driving force, 30-year-old Jordon Mattingly, was making an attempt to sell his SUV.

Police say he had swelling and scratches as if he had simply been in a crash.

They say Mattingly smelled of alcohol and nearly fell a number of occasions. Officers say he tested .291 on a transportable breath check.

Police say inside his SUV, they found 4 Loko cans and a can of White Claw.

Mattingly is facing a number of costs.

He's the son of the manager for the Miami Marlins and former professional baseball participant, Don Mattingly.
