Staff report

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Jeremiah Alan Boles, aged 26, was arrested in the early hours of yesterday morning, accused of driving under the influence and causing property damage after he reportedly crashed into an occupied crane on South Main Street.

Shortly after 7 a.m. on June 7, a Gainesville Police Department officer was dispatched to a collision scene in the 200 block of S. Main Street. Upon arrival, the officer discovered a Toyota Corolla that had collided with a stationary crane. The vehicle was significantly damaged, with the roof nearly completely ripped off due to the impact.

The officer noted that the driver, identified as Boles, had red, watery eyes and droopy eyelids.

Post Miranda, Boles reportedly said he had just finished his shift at Five Star Pizza and had been drinking at work.

The officer observed that Boles did not perform well during field sobriety tests. Breathalyzer results taken later at the jail showed alcohol concentrations of 0.272 and 0.277 g/210L, which is more than three times the legal limit.

Boles’s co-worker was reportedly following him in another vehicle and saw him hit the crane.

Two workers were in the crane’s bucket, about five stories in the air, when the car hit the crane; a third worker was directing traffic and reportedly told the officer that the Corolla passed him at a high rate of speed before hitting the crane.

Boles has been charged with DUI with property damage; he has no local criminal history, and Judge Susan Miller-Jones ordered him released on his own recognizance.

Articles about arrests are based on reports from law enforcement agencies. The charges listed are taken from the arrest report and/or court records and are only accusations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
