A Prineville man driving his cars on three tires was pulled over and arrested Saturday on drunk driving and hit and run charges, according to the Crook County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies, Prineville Police and Oregon State Police all responded after several people called saying they saw a car hit multiple objects before leaving the scene and heading south on Combs Flat Road.
Sgt. Tim Durheim said deputies found the car on Juniper Canyon Road, driving about 20 mph with its flashers on.
