According to the court records, Daniel came home from a night of drinking and asked two teenagers at the house if they wanted to go for a ride.

After doing donuts and speeding through city roads, they rear-ended another vehicle. The driver inside the struck vehicle remained at the scene. He complained of neck pain, according to criminal complaint.

All three occupants inside Daniel’s car ran from the scene. Officers recovered Daniel’s cell phone from the vehicle and found him asleep at his house.

Both teenagers were treated at a local hospital for minor injuries and released.

Daniel is due back in court Feb. 8.
