According to the Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office, 31-year-old Sean Teehan, of Dundee, crashed his black Honda Civic into a guard rail along Canal Road around 6:10 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When deputies arrived at the crash, Teehan was sitting on the hood of his Honda. Deputies said they noticed he had \u201cbloodshot, watery eyes, a slurred speech pattern, a moderate odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his breath as he was speaking, lethargic movements, and a difficult time standing unsupported.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attempts at completing any of the Field Sobriety Tests were unsuccessful due to Teehan\u2019s level of intoxication, deputies said, noting Teehan could have posed a possible danger to himself if he attempted the exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teehan was arrested and transported to the PCSO Processing Center where he blew two breath samples of .265 and .260 \u2014 both over three times the limit of .08.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As standard practice, Teehan was taken to an area hospital for evaluation. While waiting to be discharged, he allegedly told a deputy, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, your time is coming. I\u2019ll see you on the inside, I work for the DOC.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teehan was released from the hospital and moved back to the Sheriff\u2019s Processing Center where he was charged with threatening a public servant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDriving under the influence is illegal and deadly, and as a Corrections Sergeant, Teehan knew better. Luckily no one was hurt in this instance,\u201d Sheriff Grady Judd said. \u201cIf you\u2019ve been drinking, please don\u2019t drive. It puts your life and the lives of those on the road at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teehan was charged with DUI with property damage, DUI with a breath alcohol of .15 or higher, and threatening a public servant. He is currently being held in the Polk County Jail without bond. His previous criminal history includes charges for resisting arrest and battery on a law enforcement officer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
