CORPUS CHRISTI (Kiii News) - Corpus Christi police responded to a one-vehicle crash just after 2:30 a.m. Thursday and found that the driver had fled the scene on foot -- but not without leaving behind his prosthetic arm.
The accident happened in the 400 block of Highway 286. Police say the vehicle had been going in the wrong direction and was driven off the overpass, becoming airborne before dropping down onto Laredo Street. The driver of the vehicle, 23-year old Juan Gutierrez, fled on foot without his prosthetic arm. He was spotted by police not far from the scene.
A passenger in the car, who was left behind at the scene, was transported to Christus Spohn Memorial Hospital to be treated for minor injuries.
Police determined that Gutierrez was intoxicated at the time of the accident. He was taken to Christus Spohn Shoreline Hospital to be treated for minor injuries before being booked into the City Detention Center for DWI.

I'm sure this is going to cost the perpetrator an arm and a leg.

A prosthetic arm paid for by the US taxpayer, no doubt.
No illegal left behind.

Well, this will probably get blamed on Dr. Richard Kimble instead of George W. Dubya probably won’t mind a little break.

One-armed and not so dangerous.

Suspect is disarmed and considered not dangerous.

Andreas Katsulous. Not a really friendly type at Star Trek conventions but since he has passed away, that is just a footnote now.
