Man arrested for DWI after high speed crash

[Duluth, MN] Just before 3:00 a.m. this morning, a Duluth Police officer was on patrol near the 600 block of East Superior Street when he observed a vehicle driving at a high rate of speed through the Pickwick Restaurant parking lot.  The vehicle hit a grassy knoll on the boulevard between the Pickwick and the Fitger's complex and became airborne. The car eventually crashed into a light pole along the sidewalk.  Pedestrians were in the area, but thankfully no one, including the driver, was injured. 

As a result of the investigation, Ethan Farley, age 20 was arrested and booked into the St Louis County jail. He is awaiting formal charges that include, 3rd degree DUI which is a gross misdemeanor in Minnesota.  The preliminary investigation showed the driver to have a blood alcohol content more than 2 1/2 the legal limit (.21 BAC). 

The Duluth Police Department would like to remind you of the dangers of drinking and driving.  Find a sober ride home.
