Drunk driver has probation revoked and is jailed

A 23 year-old Leland man on probation for Operating While Impaired and Failure to Report an Accident had his probation revoked as unsuccessful in District Court Friday.  Eric A. Larsen was sentenced to 15 days in jail and will still have to pay fines and costs assessed previously.

Larsen crashed his vehicle around 2:00am in May in Leland Township.  He left the scene without reporting the crash and went home.  Leelanau County Sheriff's deputies contacted him there at approximately 8:00 am and determined that he was intoxicated and said he hadn't consumed alcohol since the crash.

He was arrested for Operating While Intoxicated and Failing to Report a Crash and pleaded to reduced charges in District Court.
