DWI Chase Ends With Man Falling Through Ceiling

Who would have thought that a DWI traffic stop would have ended with a man falling through the ceiling? You wouldn’t, but it did. And it happened yesterday (Sunday) afternoon around 4 o’clock when officers spotted a man driving like a maniac at 7th and Connor. 42-year-old Matthew Painter fled and crashed into a fence at 3rd and Connor. He jumped out of the car and ran into an apartment at 302 South Connor. He climbed into the attic to hide, but fell through the ceiling. He was arrested for DWI, resisting arrest and careless driving.
