A Texas truck driver allegedly was drunk when his tractor-trailer crashed into the drive-through at McDonald’s on Wilson Road early Wednesday and caused damage to the property of an adjacent bank.

Scott Thomas Roberts, 49, of Azle, was charged by state police with driving under the influence, careless driving and reckless driving. Police were called at about 2:15 a.m. to McDonald’s restaurant, 185 Wilson Road, after Roberts’ rig hit a drive-through order station and then hit a lighted entrance sign at the restaurant. The truck then hit wires attached to a utility pole and struck a gas line in front of PNC Bank, 195 Wilson, crashed into height restriction poles and a sign and hit the mailbox, state police said in an affidavit.

Roberts failed field sobriety tests and had a blood-alcohol level of .123, above the legal limit for intoxication, state police said. He was arraigned before District Judge Joshua Kanalis and placed in Washington County jail on $25,000 bond. A preliminary hearing was set for May 18.
