Police subsequently investigated the crash side and surrounding area, and believe that Jason London actually swerved off the road, ran over a sign, got back onto the road and then hit a concrete object before ending up in that ditch.
As for why London wasn’t hit with a DUI, an Ocean Springs Police Department spokesperson said the arresting officer “used his discretion” and decided to prioritize the other charges.
London was ultimately charged with public intoxication and leaving the scene of an accident, and he was allegedly so drunk that he wasn’t able to be fingerprinted.
