Sheriff’s Deputies found Mr. Hoffman was driving northbound on NW Bethany Boulevard and accelerated at a very high speed as he was turning left onto NW West Union Road. Investigators determined Mr. Hoffman lost control of the Blazer, ran onto the shoulder then rolled over in the roadway. He received minor injuries and was treated by medical personnel on the scene.

It was determined that Mr. Hoffman was under the influence of marijuana and driving recklessly at the time of the crash. He was arrested and charged with DUII. He was lodged in the Washington County Jail held on $2,500 bail.

“The court does not find his story plausible or believable,” the judge said.
