A local man has been arrested after being caught driving in a field.

Police received a complaint around 4:30 Saturday morning and say the accused was driving a truck in a field near Gregory Drive and Orangewood Boulevard.

The 22-year-old was arrested and taken to police headquarters, where tests allegedly showed he had two and a half times the legal amount of alcohol in his system.

He is now charged with driving while impaired, driving with more than 80 milligrams of alcohol in his system, and mischief. He was released with a date in court next month.
