It wasn't the wake-up call anyone at the Super 8 Motel expected to get when a guest backed his vehicle into his room and caved in the front wall.
Donald Alley, 38, of Clarksville, Tenn., was arrested and charged with first degree criminal mischief and second offense operating a vehicle under the influence after backing his truck into Room 105 at approximately 11:10 p.m. Tuesday, according to a report from Murray Police Department.
Robert Dick, an employee at Super 8, said he didn't witness the accident but heard it.
“I heard a boom and I came out and saw him getting out of the truck,” he said. “The AC was still running when I got in here.”
The air conditioning unit had been pushed to the center of the room and electrical sparks were flying, he said.
Alley's work partner was asleep in the second bed when Alley rammed into the room, Dick said.
