CRESTVIEW — A man who drove over a curb, down a long grassy strip and into a ditch told a Crestview Police Department officer that he "became distracted by an alligator in his headlights."

He also said he'd had "six beers or so."

The first officer on scene found the man in his car in a ditch behind Walmart with his vehicle running and his tires spinning, according to his arrest report. She said it appeared he was trying to drive out of the ditch.

The 40-year-old Texas man said he'd gotten lost driving back to his hotel and drove to Walmart, where he left the roadway and ended up in the ditch.

During his conversation with the officer, the driver warned them about the lions and leopards around him and warned the officer to be careful.

The officer suspected that the man was impaired and administered a field sobriety test. The man almost fell over during one portion of the test, the report said.

The breathalyzer revealed a blood alcohol content of .091 and .092. While waiting at the jail, the man stood up and walked over to a desk and told the employee he was "waiting to check out." He then said he was at the EconoLodge.

The man was charged with DUI and given a June 22 court date
