A 41-year-old Cleveland man was cited over the weekend for driving under the influence following an accident where the vehicle he was operating struck a house.
The White County Sheriff’s Office accident report states the vehicle was traveling north on Windy Acres Road approaching a cul-de-sac. The driver, identified as 41-year-old Robert J. Herron, lost control of the vehicle and traveled off the roadway into the front yard of 513 Windy Acres Road. The vehicle struck several fixed objects, and bushes before striking the front porch and coming to rest against the house.
The report states the vehicle and residence both sustained substantial damage.
Herron and two children, ages 9 and 5, who were in the vehicle with him were not injured.
In addition to DUI, deputies charged Herron with endangering a child, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, failure to maintain lane, failure to change his driver’s license address information, traveling too fast for conditions, and expired tag.
Test results are pending on the DUI charge. Herron was released from jail on a $4,000 bond.
No one in the home was injured.
