A Ferndale man, Nazario Guzman-Becerra, struck multiple parked vehicles and a fence in the 300 block of South Fifteenth Street in Fortuna early this morning, confirmed Sgt. Charles Ellebrecht.

The Sergeant said that at 3:37 a.m. “we received a 911 caller that said he heard something break out front.” When officers arrived at the scene, Ellebrecht said, “We located the suspect’s vehicle–a 2004 Mustang…[It] had collided with 2016 Kia and a 2017 Chevy, a 1989 Oldsmobile and a fence.”

Macy Brown, a neighbor told us,

We didn’t see it but it woke us up. I live right next door to where he landed and our other neighbor was awake and saw it. He hit the Chevy and the Oldsmobile across the street then was trying to leave, floored it and drove across the lawn into the Kia on the opposite side of the street, inches from his house. It pushed the Kia into the fence. He then was still trying to leave and had the car in reverse but must have messed up the transmission as the car wasn’t wanting to go and was making an awful grinding noise right before the police showed up.

Sgt Ellebrecht said that Nazario Guzman-Becerra was booked for a misdemeanor DUI.

Now let’s not jump to conclusions, maybe the Kia, Chevy, Oldsmobile and fence all had it coming. I knew that Mustang from long ago and it had a bad upbringing through no fault of it’s own. Don’t judge until you have driven a mile on it’s tires.

Where were his friends who should have taken his keys before he got in the car?

He is licenced and insured. That should cover it.
Fence damage is minor. No injuries.
Sat 4 hours to dry out
Drunk under influence DUI fine is half price now due to Covid early resolution.

You don’t know that he is a licensed driver. There are a lot of people driving in Humboldt that have not done the work to drive legally.
