Police say a crash in Shelbyville's downtown Thursday night involved alcohol.
About 10 p.m., an officer responded to a crash on Harrison Street at the intersection of Washington Street.
A Dodge Ram 1500 was travelling northbound on Harrison approaching the Public Square. The truck collided with a concrete pole on the south side of the
Public Square, then went off the roadway and came to a final resting position in the landscaping of the Public Square after also damaging the curb.
Shelbyville police say Todd Hicks, 56, of Indianapolis, refused to make any statements about what happened. The police report states that Hicks had been drinking, failed a field sobriety test, refused a PBT, and also refused a chemical test. A warrant was obtained by the officer who completed the OWI investigation.
Hicks was arrested for OWI and the vehicle was towed by Ross Wrecker Service.
