Maybe a repost but screw it.

BERLIN: Alleged drunk driver leads police on chase around dirt horse track
By Patrick Gavin
Staff Writer
BERLIN — Maryland State Police arrested an alleged intoxicated driver Sunday evening after police say the man — a participant in the weekend's car show — drove his Audi multiple times around Ocean Downs Racetrack's horse practice track before ripping through the parking lot and onto Route 50.
At 5:05 p.m., a trooper monitoring departing vehicles at the racetrack noticed a car driving on the practice track. When the trooper approached in his vehicle from outside the track, the driver, Cort Bennett Sikes, 24, of Austin, Texas, piloted his car to the far end of the track. The trooper later drove his vehicle onto the track as well, only to have the suspect once again keep the center of the track between himself and the officer's patrol car, police said.

Sikes then exited the track and sped through the crowded parking lot to the far end of the grounds, adjacent to the stables. After an abrupt turn, Sikes hit several grassy mounds and bottomed out, losing the car's front bumper, police said.
The car eventually made it's way past the crowds — many spectators having to move to avoid the vehicle — and out onto Route 589 and then westbound Route 50. The driver passed several vehicles on the shoulder and lost a left tire in the process.
Another officer stopped traffic near Sunset Memorial Cemetery, forcing the fleeing vehicle to get stuck on the median, police said.
Police arrested the Austin man, documenting a variety of symptoms of excessive alcohol consumption in police reports. Sikes refused breath tests, police said.
Sikes is being held on $5,000 bond in the Worcester County Detention Center and as of Sunday night had not posted his bond.
State Police were also called to help Ocean City Police with drag racing on Coastal Highway on Sunday night, presumably connected to the auto show, State Police said.
However, Ocean City Police Public Information Officer Pfc. Barry Neeb said the volume of traffic citations issued over the weekend was not out of the ordinary.
