Speeding Motorist Arrested for DWI

Occurred on 7/6/12, 02:02 am  Driving While Intoxicated     Cedar Pass/Sunwood Drives  1207060019   

An Officer patrolling his beat heard a vehicle’s engine being revved very loudly.  He looked in the direction of the sound and observed a red Chevrolet Tahoe traveling Westbound in the 5300 block of Lipes in excess of 80 mph.  

The Officer reports the Tahoe fishtailed when it hit a dip in the roadway.  The Tahoe struck and jumped the curb and continued to spin out of control once it returned onto the roadway.  The Tahoe came to a stop and the Officer pulled in front of  it and blocked him. 

Thomas Michael Goralczyk (02/14/89) was contacted and appeared to be intoxicated. He was administered Standard Field Sobriety Tests and a Blood Draw.  Goralczyk was arrested and booked at the City Detention Center.  He was charged with Driving While Intoxicated. 

A passenger in the SUV told Officers he didn’t try hard enough to take the keys away from Goralczyk and made a bad decision in letting him drive.  He was taken home by Officers.
