Man 'only had 2 pizzas to drink' before driving into ditch

Police said a Louisville man drove his car into a ditch and then told officers he only had "two pizzas to drink" for lunch. According to arrest records, Louisville police were dispatched to a vehicle in a ditch at the intersection of La Costa Road and Stonybrook Drive at about 10 p.m. on Saturday.

Police said when officers arrived, an off-duty St. Matthews police officer was talking to the driver, 68-year-old Donn Adams. Adams seemed confused and disoriented, police said, and told officers he only had two pizzas to drink for lunch.



Officers asked Adams if he was under the influence of drugs, according to arrest records, and Adams told them he wasn't but that he took Suboxone for an opiate addiction. Adams did not give officers permission to search his car, but two syringes filled with a brown liquid believed to be heroin were in plain sight in the car, police said.

Adams told police that he thought the liquid was heroin that his friend had left in the car, police said. Adams is charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
