LIBERTY — A court date has been set for a Youngstown man whose vehicle was stuck in a ditch late Sunday night.

Jack Rudzinski, 59, is set to appear in Girard Municipal Court on Nov. 18 on two charges of OVI and operation without reasonable control.

According to a police report, an officer was dispatched to Sampson Road for a reported intoxicated person who had crashed his vehicle into a ditch. Upon arrival, the officer found a white van stuck in a ditch at the apartment complex’s entrance.

The report states another man at the scene, who identified himself as Rudzinski’s friend, noted that Rudzinski was “losing his mind” and continuously making poor decisions. Rudzinski said he was not injured and refused medical treatment from Liberty Fire Department personnel.

The report states that as Rudzinski provided his license, the officer heard slurred speech and detected a “strong odor” of alcoholic beverage on his breath. When asked about the crash, Rudzinski said he was attempting a U-turn and drove into the ditch at 20 mph,. He told the officer that he had a couple of beers earlier when asked about his consumption, the report states.

The officer performed a field sobriety test on Rudzinski, who was unable to keep his head still during the horizontal gaze nystagmus. The officer observed his eyes to be red and glassy after allowing him to use his arms to keep his head still during it, the report states.

After struggling with other portions of the field sobriety test, failing the walk-and-turn and the one-leg stand portions, Rudzinski was placed under arrest on a charge of operating a vehicle impaired. Rudzinski told the officer that he wished to provide a breath sample, further saying that he wasn’t drunk, according to the report.

The report states that after obtaining two breath samples from Rudzinski, his BAC was shown to be at 0.305. The legal limit for driving in Ohio is 0.08.

Rudzinski’s license was also seized, and it will be sent to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles for a 90-day administrative license suspension, the report states.
