Crashing into a light pole and electrical transformer Friday afternoon led to the arrest of a North Liberty man.
Police came upon 41-year-old David Peden of Alydar Drive after the incident at the intersection of Kansas Avenue and Alydar around 2pm. Officers conducted field tests on Peden, who showed impairment. A Datamaster test showed a blood-alcohol content of .263 percent, over three times the legal limit.
Peden was taken into custody and charged with his first OWI, a serious misdemeanor punishable by a jail term of up to one year if convicted.
