Deputies arrested two men late Saturday night after they allegedly engaged in street racing in St. Albans.
Kanawha County deputies said they spotted two yellow Chevrolet Camaros that “appeared to be engaged in street racing” around 11 p.m. Saturday along MacCorkle Avenue SW, according to a news release.
The drivers — later identified as William Aiden Wallace, 22, of Hurricane, and Caleb Dayle Robinett, 20, of Huntington — allegedly continued heading west after a deputy activated emergency lights.
Deputies said Wallace crashed just before Riverview Drive, while Robinett later crashed into a tree near Browns Creek Road.
When deputies spoke with Wallace, they said they detected a strong odor of alcohol and observed signs of impairment. Wallace admitted he drank three “vodka Red Bulls,” and a breath test indicated a blood alcohol concentration of .098%, according to the release.
A criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court states that deputies also found alcoholic beverages in the backseat of Wallace’s vehicle.
Robinett was taken into custody and charged with fleeing with reckless indifference. He is being held on a $2,000 bond. Wallace faces a charge of fleeing while driving under the influence and is being held on a $2,500 bond.
