SULLIVAN, Ind., 6 (UPI) -- The president of the city council in Sullivan, Ind., has been charged with taking a city police car on a drunken joy ride.

Clint Lamb was arrested early Tuesday, The Terre Haute Tribune-Star reported. The Sullivan County sheriff's office received a call that a police car was stuck in a yard and that the driver was shining a spotlight into windows.

Lamb allegedly told a deputy he was waiting for a friend with a truck to pull him out. He was arrested after failing sobriety tests and was later discovered to have a blood alcohol level of .12, the newspaper reported.

Deputy Joshua Cary said the police car suffered damage and the yard where it had gotten stuck, was torn up.
