FROM THE CORPUS CHRISTI POLICE DEPARTMENT -
Occurred on 7/6/12, 02:02 am Driving While Intoxicated Cedar Pass/Sunwood Drives
An Officer patrolling his beat heard a vehicle's engine being revved very loudly. He looked in the direction of the sound and observed a red Chevrolet Tahoe traveling Westbound in the 5300 block of Lipes in excess of 80 mph.
The Officer reports the Tahoe fishtailed when it hit a dip in the roadway. The Tahoe struck and jumped the curb and continued to spin out of control once it returned onto the roadway. The Tahoe came to a stop and the Officer pulled in front of it and blocked him.
Thomas Michael Goralczyk, 23, was contacted and appeared to be intoxicated. He was administered Standard Field Sobriety Tests and a Blood Draw. Goralczyk was arrested and booked at the City Detention Center. He was charged with Driving While Intoxicated.
A passenger in the SUV told Officers he didn't try hard enough to take the keys away from Goralczyk and made a bad decision in letting him drive. He was taken home by Officers.
