Man accused of driving while intoxicated

An Iowa man has been accused of striking a roadway barrier while driving under the influence of alcohol.

Adam Hebl, 38, was charged Monday with third-offense OWI.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, law-enforcement officials were alerted about a vehicle that was “all over” the road and had struck a barrier on Interstate 80. The vehicle also hit road cones and nearly hit another vehicle, the report said.

Officers located the vehicle, a red 1998 Ford Escort, which Hebl was driving. According to the complaint, police said Hebl allegedly smelled strongly of an alcoholic beverage, had bloodshot, watery eyes, and admitted to drinking.

Third-offense OWI is a Class-D felony.
