A Monroe man was arrested last week after officers responded to a private property crash investigation on Wilshire Avenue.
John Maverick Rabb, 20, of Monroe, was taken into custody at approximately 11:12 p.m. on May 21 after Ruston Police responded to the 600 block of Wilshire Avenue regarding a vehicle striking a power box, according to the affidavit.
The report states officers found the driver had left the vehicle after striking an electrical junction box. A witness pointed out where Rabb lived. Officers were unable to make contact at the residence but later saw Rabb walking toward them and identified him as the driver of the vehicle involved in the crash. Officers reported detecting signs of impairment, including slurred speech, swaying while standing, and the odor of alcohol.
According to the report, Rabb refused to address if he hit the electrical box and refused to consent to field sobriety testing. He later refused to provide a breath sample for analysis.
Rabb was transported to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center and booked for underage DWI-first offense, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, and hit-and-run driving. The report also noted Rabb has a previous underage DWI charge pending in court.
