SALINE COUNTY —A Wichita man was arrested after the wrecker he was in was found against a box truck in a Salina church parking lot.

 

Just after 6 a.m. Wednesday, a Salina police officer noticed a a 2019 Freightliner wrecker owned by Kidd's Towing Service resting against a box truck in the parking lot of Trinity Lutheran Church at S. Ninth Street and W. Crawford Street, according to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester.

 

The officer pulled into the parking lot to investigate and allegedly found the driver of the wrecker, Alberto Garcia, 25, of Wichita, passed out in the driver's seat. It appeared that the wrecker had been westbound, crossed S. Ninth Street, entered the church parking lot and struck the box truck.

 

The wrecker sustained minor front-end damage and the box truck, a 2015 Ford Econoline E350, sustained minor rear-end damage. Officers arrested Garcia on the requested charges of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and careless driving.
