(SitNews) Ketchikan, Alaska - The Alaska State Troopers and Saxman VPSO were notified Friday evening of a 911 REDDI report in the 300 block of South Tongass Highway of a truck being driven off the roadway and into the yard of a residence causing damage. The driver left the yard leaving behind portions of the rear cargo and front bumper.

The Alaska State Troopers were able to locate the driver William Rivera, age 25 of Saxman, in the 2700 block of South Tongass Highway where his truck stopped due to a buoy rope getting wrapped around the rear axle.

Investigation by the Alaska State Troopers revealed Rivera was operating the silver Mazda B4000 truck while intoxicated and drove off the roadway and into the yard of a residence causing approximately $400 damage. Further investigation revealed that Rivera had a loaded rifle in the passenger area of the vehicle.

Rivera was on conditions of release at the time for an unrelated matter. Rivera was also cited for Driving With an Expired License, Refusal to Submit to a PBT and Failure to Provide Proof of Insurance. He was transported to the Ketchikan Correctional Center pending arraignment.
