A MAN WHO WAS HOUSE-SITTING FOR FRIENDS IN LAKE MONTEZUMA WAS HOPING HE WOULDN’T HAVE TO CALL 9-1-1 WHILE THERE, BUT AFTER A DODGE TRUCK CRASHED INTO THE HOME, HE DID.

YAVAPAI COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES RESPONDED TO A REPORT OF A VEHICLE THAT HIT A HOUSE ON N. VALANCIUS WAY IN LAKE MONTEZUMA LAST THURSDAY.

WHEN THEY ARRIVED ON SCENE, DEPUTIES FOUND A FULL-SIZED DODGE PICK-UP IN THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE AND THE DRIVER CLAIMING HE HAD SWERVED TO MISS A DEER. 

THE DRIVER EXHIBITED SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF INTOXICATION AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY ARRESTED FOR DUI AND CRIMINAL DAMAGE CHARGES.

THE HOUSE-SITTER, WHO CALLED 911, WAS LEFT CONTEMPLATING WHAT KARMIC DEBT HE WAS PAYING BY CHOOSING THE WRONG DAY TO HOUSE-SIT FOR THE OWNERS WHO WERE OUT OF TOWN.   

NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THE HOME, AND THE OFFENDING DEER IS STILL AT LARGE.
