St. Albans police are looking for a
man suspected of drunken driving after a wreck Thursday evening.
Travis Armstead, 21, was involved in a wreck with Bryan
Brennan, 42 at about 6:05 p.m. at the
intersection of Kanawha Terrace and Spring Street, according to a news release
from the St. Albans Police Department.
Both drivers sustained non-life threatening injuries in the
crash and were taken to Charleston Area
Medical Center.
During an investigation into the wreck, Patrolman J.M. Dent
smelled alcohol on Armstead, the news release states. He also discovered an
open can of beer in the car's cup holder.
Armstead later fled CAMC after becoming combative with the
staff, according to the news release. He was not under arrest at that time, but
Dent was in the process of obtaining a search warrant for Armstead's blood.
Dent found that Armstead was driving on a revoked license
because of a previous drunken driving charge, the news release states. He also
found no proof that Armstead's car is insured.
St. Albans police are working on
getting an arrest warrant for Armstead, according to the news release.
