On June 5, around 12:30 a.m., Deputy C. Turrentine responded to a report that a vehicle struck the Sonic Drive In on FM 1314 in Porter. He arrived to find a Dodge Dakota pickup driven by 28-year-old Eric Michael Estlinbaum of Porter, who admitted he accidentally struck the building with his truck. Estlinbaum and his passenger, 31-year-old Donald Lee Lindsay, Jr., of Porter, were standing outside the vehicle when Deputy Turrentine arrived. After Deputy Turrentine noticed a white powdery substance on Lindsay’s mouth, Lindsay admitted he was chewing up some Xanax pills to hide them from the officer, but he had more in his pockets, along with Soma. A toolbox in the truck contained Soma and Hydrocodone and a further search of the vehicle produced a clear plastic bag containing marijuana.
Estlinbaum admitted he had been drinking and failed a standard field sobriety test. He was charged with Driving While Intoxicated, possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance. Lindsay was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and tampering with physical evidence.
