Fence stuck in house after van crashes
A Butler man is charged with driving under the influence after his vehicle crashed through a fence on East Portersville Road, knocking part of the fence into a nearby house, according to state police.
On Friday, Joseph H. Trautman, 26, was driving a minivan going east and crossed into the oncoming traffic lane, went off the berm, police said. The vehicle broke through a fence surrounding a house.
On Sunday, part of the fence could be seen poking into the nearby home, penetrating at least the outer layer.
Police said Trautman drove away but he was found nearby at his home. He admitted to police that he used drugs just before driving and, when he was searched, police found him possessing a controlled substance.
