CASPER, Wyo. — A Casper man is charged with felony DUI after police say a fellow bar patron became trapped under his truck in the parking lot of Frosty’s Bar and Grill on Wednesday afternoon.
James Sack, 55, was taken to jail from the scene and appeared in circuit court Thursday on the single charge of DUI resulting in serious bodily injury. Bond was set at $15,000 cash or surety. He is presumed innocent unless proven or pleading guilty.
Police, firefighters and ambulance crews responded to the parking lot of the downtown bar around 1:10 p.m. Wednesday, May 22, according to Casper Police Department spokesperson Amber Freestone.
The victim’s legs were pinned under Sack’s truck. He was freed by Casper Fire-EMS and taken to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, Freestone said. Sack himself reportedly alerted the bar patrons to the emergency.
Witnesses in the bar told police that Sack and the victim had been inside drinking for several hours. A blood draw was conducted at the jail, and the results are pending.
Sack said in court that he was a lifelong Casper resident, except for the six years he spent serving in the Army.
