Drunk Car Wash Employee Wrecks Customer's Car: Police

ARLINGTON, VA -- A man who was sent home from his job at a car wash because he was intoxicated came back to the business and wrecked a customer's car, police say.

Police were called to the 4100 block of S. Four Mile Run Drive at around 11:45 a.m. on Sept. 28 to a report of a hit and run, according to a report from the Arlington County Police Department.

"Upon arrival, it was determined the suspect had been sent home from his employment at a car wash due to showing signs of intoxication," the report states. "The suspect returned to the car wash and, shortly after, drove a customer’s vehicle off the property, went over a median and struck a concrete piling and a parked vehicle. The suspect then exited the vehicle and fled the scene on foot back to the car wash."

Police charged 61-year-old Rigoberto Folgar Hernandez of Arlington with grand larceny: motor vehicle theft, destruction of property, hit and run, and drunk in public.

He is being held without bond.
