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.

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.
