An Oxford man has been charged with drunk driving after he crashed a UTV with passengers aboard.

The incident happened just after 11:15pm on December 30th in Tiffin. Deputies say 19-year-old Quintin Becicka of Highway 6 NW was operating the UTV on Dogwood Avenue when he lost control and rolled the vehicle multiple times. Arriving first responders say they found bottles of alcohol scattered around the crash scene, with Becicka showing signs of intoxication.

The investigation determined that Becicka has been operating the UTV recklessly, including speeding when he tried to turn onto Dogwood Avenue from Croell Avenue, leading to the crash. There is no indication if Becicka or any of the passengers were injured.

Becicka was booked into the Johnson County Jail just after 2pm Wednesday and charged with Operating While Intoxicated, Possession of Alcohol Under the Legal Age and numerous traffic violations.
