Michigan Man Arrested for OWI After Beating up Car

The Petoskey News reports that 33-year-old Chad Johnson of Harbor Springs is facing multiple charges after beating up his car.
State police were responding to a report of a man in a parking lot bashing his car with a bat, when on the way they spotted the vehicle on M-119 near Pickerel Lake Road in Emmet County.
