The Charleston Police Department has released more details in the single car accident involving a Charleston County Sheriff's Office deputy charged with driving under the influence.
The incident report says that police responded to a single car collision at I-526 west from Savannah Highway southbound around 2 a.m. on Sunday morning. They found a white Lexus SUV "smashed against the guard rail with the front driver's tire under the vehicle."
Police noted that the car was totaled and that a "10 foot section of guard rail for the on ramp to I-526 West was destroyed."
The driver, identified as 37-year-old Nicholas Wagner, told police that he was coming from downtown, "had a bad night" and that he "had just lost control."
The report states that officers noticed the smell of alcohol coming from him and a wet spot on the front of his pants. Wagner told police he had "urinated himself earlier in the night and it was not caused by the collision."
Wagner refused to take the standard field sobriety tests as well as the breathalyzer test at the detention center. His driver's license was suspended and taken away along with the personal fire arm he had in his vehicle.
