NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-A North Platte man was arrested Friday morning after his vehicle ended up in the side of a local apartment complex office.
At around 11:15 a.m., officers were dispatched to South Platte Terrace, 700 East Philip Avenue, after receiving a report that a vehicle had driven into one of the buildings.
Police say it was reported that 31-year-old Nicholas Pflaster was traveling eastbound in his red Nissan Frontier through the Francis Square parking lot when he continued out of the parking lot and across Poplar Street.
Investigator John Deal says Pflaster's vehicle then continued through the parking lot of South Platte Terrace and crashed through a garage and into the office of the complex, where it came to rest.
Officers say Pflaster exhibited signs of being under the influence of some substance. Police brought in a drug recognition expert who conducted testing and, upon further investigation, determined Pflaster had been huffing from an air duster can prior to the accident.
Pflaster was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
Investigator Deal says initial estimates on the damage to the garage and the office building are in the ballpark of $100,000.
No injuries were reported.
