A 41-year-old man is facing potential DUI and obstructing police charges after a traffic accident last week in Roseville that sent two other people to the hospital, according to police and jail records.
Robert Bewley drove into the rear of a vehicle waiting on a stoplight at the intersection of Foothills and Junction boulevards around 6:20 a.m. Thursday, according to a Roseville police spokeswoman.
Bewley, driving a 2006 Ford F-350 pickup, set off a chain reaction that involved two other vehicles, the spokeswoman said.
She said Bewley "appeared highly intoxicated. He threatened and refused to comply with officers, and was eventually subdued after officers used a Taser on him."
Bewley was transported by ambulance to Sutter Roseville Medical Center for medical clearance and then booked into the Placer County Jail on suspicion of DUI causing injury, and obstructing/resisting executive officers, she said.
The driver and a passenger in the vehicle that Bewley hit were transported to Sutter Roseville Medical Center with what appeared to be minor injuries, she said.
The other people involved in the chain-reaction collision did not report being injured, she said.
