Drunk driver crashes, thinks he’s home

Police say an intoxicated Seabeck man drove into a ditch near Allyn and thought he was in his driveway.

Shawn Ferguson, 29, drove off state Route 302 near the intersection of East Coulter Creek Road around 10 p.m. July 9 and his car landed “with its nose within the south bound ditch and the rear bumper of the vehicle was just outside of the southbound fog line,” Mason County Sheriff’s Deputy J. Ogden wrote in a probable cause document.

Ferguson allegedly exited the crashed vehicle with a bottle in his hand, according to witnesses.
