BOARDMAN — A local man is facing multiple charges, including OVI, after he allegedly rear-ended another driver inside a car wash this week.

David T. Fink, 61, of Rockdale Avenue, is charged with OVI, a first-degree misdemeanor, failure to control, a minor misdemeanor, and refusal to submit to OVI testing within 20 years of an OVI conviction.

Online court records show that Fink appeared in Mahoning County Boardman Court on Tuesday, where he pleaded not guilty, and Judge Joseph Houser imposed a $3,500 bond and set a pretrial hearing for June 16.

The police report states that officers were called to the Modwash near Meijer on Boardman-Poland Road about 1:30 p.m. Sunday after a woman called to report Fink for hitting the back of her vehicle while inside the carwash.

The report states she told police she had her car in neutral and was within the tracks, about halfway through the car wash, when Fink allegedly struck her car. Car wash employees stopped the car wash briefly, then turned it on again to allow both vehicles to exit and park in spaces in front of the building.

The report states Fink told police his car was in neutral and he didn’t know how or why it jumped the track. However, police saw a half-full vodka bottle on the rear floor of the car. Fink told them it belonged to someone else who had been in the car previously, the report states.

The report states police saw Fink put a breath mint in his mouth before they spoke to him, and they also observed him to have slurred speech, bloodshot and glassy eyes, and to smell of alcohol.

The report states that police attempted to test Fink’s ability to follow a pen with his eyes and his ability to walk a straight line, heel-to-toe, both of which he allegedly failed before being arrested.

Although he participated in the field tests, at the station, Fink refused to provide a breath sample for analysis, leading to the refusal charge. His driver’s license was immediately suspended.

Fink pleaded guilty to his first OVI in 2008, after being arrested by Beaver Township police in November of that year. Charges for having a breathalyzer reading more than twice the legal limit (0.08) and failure to maintain marked lanes were dismissed in exchange for the plea.

He was given an 180-day jail sentence with 177 days suspended, ordered to undergo a 72-hour intervention program, and placed on one-year probation and a six-month license suspension.
