Clark said the suspect smelled of alcohol.

“The officer who arrested him told me he was (allegedly) wearing a red bracelet, which was probably from an after-hours club,” Clark said.

The man involved in the collision was in his 40s and the woman was in her 30s.

“She was holding his leg and rocking back and forth. She was injured,” Clark said.
