DRUNK DUDE CRASHES THROUGH HIS GARAGE AND THEN NEIGHBOR’S HOUSE
An intoxicated St. Paul man drove through his garage and crashed into the house of his neighbor Friday evening, according to police. Thomas Falk, 70, was arrested on suspicion of gross misdemeanor driving while intoxicated. Tested at the scene, Falk registered a blood-alcohol level of more than 0.20. The legal limit for driving in Minnesota is 0.08.
Officers were called Falk’s house, at 988 E. Orange Ave. in the Payne-Phalen neighborhood, just after 6:15 p.m. They found Falk’s pickup truck crashed into the rear of his next-door neighbor’s house.
Investigators determined that Falk had driven through the back wall of his garage, which faced a rear alley, across his back yard and into the back yard of his neighbor, where the pickup struck the neighbor’s house.
No one, including Falk, was injured in the crash. Falk was arrested without incident and booked into the Ramsey County Jail. Tad Vezner can be reached at 651-228-5461. Follow him at twitter.com/SPnoir.

NEIGHBOR PULLS GUN ON FATHER TEACHING DAUGHTER TO RIDE BIKE
ROSEMOUNT, Minn. (KMSP) – It’s yet another instance of a neighbor puling a gun on a neighbor. This time, it happened in Rosemount, Minn. while a father was teaching his 7-year-old daughter how to ride a bicycle. Gary Drake, 61, is facing second-degree assault and terroristic threat charges after he was accused of brandishing a shotgun on Daytona Way last week.
“I’ve never seen a gun come out of that house ever,” Helgeson said. Allison Nelson saw the arrest. “We look over and he’s in handcuffs,” she recalled. “He’s walking to the cop car.” According to the criminal complaint, Drake didn’t like the way the father was teaching his daughter to ride a bicycle. “I guess Gary came out and was trying to give tips,” Helgeson said.
The father told Fox 9 News he’s still shaken by the encounter. He explained that when he and his daughter got down to the cul de sac, Drake began yelling from his porch. When the father responded to say, “I’ve got it,” Drake allegedly said, “If you don’t like my advice, get off the street.”
At that point, Drake appeared to get angrier — but as the father and daughter prepared to leave the area, Drake allegedly went inside his home, grabbed a Remington 870 shotgun, pointed it at the father and threatened to kill him.
Drake’s wife eventually came out and pulled the gun away, but police said he didn’t appear repentant when he was booked. In fact, he allegedly told officers, “Maybe next time. I should have shot him.” Charging documents state that Drake admitted to drinking all day, but he denied that it influenced his actions.
