Stolen Car Crashes into Living Room

20008_09_carmet.jpgSuffolk County police say that a man was drunk driving a stolen SUV in Patchogue when he crashed the vehicle into a Patchogue home last night. Well, actually Frank Dawson wasn't in the car; Newsday reports that he "leaped from the sport utility vehicle on Clark Street -- as the big GMC Yukon was still moving -- and ran off... the truck continued to roll until it hit the home, going into the living room and hitting a couch where a resident had been sitting moments earlier." The home's owner Christopher Carapezza said he was watching the Yankees game, but he want to see his wife upstairs after she called for him. Dawson charged with reckless endangerment and DWI.
