Police arrested an alleged drunk driver who they say crashed into four parked vehicles in front of the Cathedral of St. Helena early Tuesday. Three of the vehicles were totaled.
While driving a full-size Chevrolet pickup truck, Jager Bob Kechely of Helena was headed east on Lawrence Street and made a left onto Warren Street, where the vehicles were parked, Helena Police Chief Troy McGee said.
“He drove a short distance (after hitting the parked vehicles) and then came to a stop,” McGee said.
Officers arrived on the scene about 2:15 a.m. after receiving a call from a witness. Kechely, 26, who was visibly impaired, was combative with police and was forcibly taken to the ground, according to McGee.
A passenger in Kechely’s truck, a 23-year-old man, received injuries during the accident but refused medical treatment, he said.
Police took Kechely into custody on misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence, negligent vehicular assault, resisting arrest and failure to supply proof of insurance.
The damaged vehicles, which are all owned by the same person, were a 1996 Chevrolet S-10, a 1991 Chevrolet S-10, a 1982 Subaru Brat and a 1972 Datsun pickup.

Re: Something for AlphaGriz1
Couple of things:
Didn't they leave a "m" out of the guy's middle(??) name. Jager Bomb would have been so much more fitting.
So the authorities say the three of those vehicles were totalled. Hmmmm...that must've cost a total of about $1,500. The 72 Datsun and the 82 Brat together must've cost a good $150
