A girl was injured in a black 2015 Infiniti sedan after her father, who was driving drunk, recently crashed into a pole and fled in Lauderhill, according to a police officer’s report.
Police officers responded to the crash on Monday at Northwest 31st Avenue and 16th Street. They found the girl in the back seat of the crashed sedan, and her father, Shane Allen, running away near Northwest 33rd Avenue, according to the police report.
Allen, 40, was “stumbling while walking, had difficulty maintaining balance ... exhibited glassy eyes, and emitted an odor of an alcoholic beverage each time he spoke,” a police officer wrote, according to the report.
Police officers arrested Allen, and Lauderhill Fire Rescue personnel took the girl to the Broward Health Medical Center, according to police.
Allen remained at the Broward County Main Jail on Friday in Fort Lauderdale, according to inmate records. He faced seven charges in two pending cases.
