A Columbus man was arrested on drunk driving charges after wrecking his car on the way to work early this morning, according to police reports.

Bartholomew County Sheriff’s deputies say that they were called to a report of a vehicle stuck in a ditch at about 2:14 a.m. near County Roads 300W and 500S. The deputy said that the the driver, 24-year-old Zachary Perry of County Road 650S, smelled of alcohol and his eyes appeared glassy.

He allegedly told officers that he had been drinking earlier, but thought he was sober enough to drive to work.
