LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A Clark County man is facing multiple charges after police said he drove drunk through a park last week while passing through areas where children and families were gathered.
The Charlestown Police Department said in a statement that Wayne Schultz allegedly did, on Friday, April 10, drive from Seymour, Indiana, to Greenway Park in Charlestown, Indiana, while under the influence.
Police said Schultz drove his car off road through the park with multiple families present. He then allegedly drove across a basketball court where children were playing before attempting to drive up a hill.
A witness called 911 and officers located Schultz's vehicle in a nearby parking lot. He was arrested after police said they established probable cause for driving while intoxicated.
Police said Schultz was "uncooperative, resistive, and made multiple threats toward law enforcement." They also alleged he battered an officer.
Schultz was booked into the Clark County Jail and had a preliminary hearing April 15.
He faces multiple charges, including felony resisting law enforcement, criminal recklessness, intimidation and battery against a public safety official, along with several misdemeanor counts, including operating while intoxicated.
