After crashing his Jeep into a Spotsylvania Restaurant last weekend, a man has been charged with DWI.

SPOTSYLVANIA COUNTY, VA—A Spotsylvania man has been arrested after crashing into the Durango Grill at the Salem Village shopping center off Route 3, according to the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office. Edward Gentry Kendall II, 52, was charged with misdemeanor DWI.

Around 9 p.m. Saturday, his Jeep Liberty crashed through the front of the restaurant, ultimately making its way to the back of the business and leaving six people with minor injuries. Manassas resident Jessica Bartnek told the Free Lance-Star she was having dinner when, "I heard a loud crash (and) I turned around and the vehicle was coming into the building. . . It was scary. I've never seen anything like that before."
