By Drunk driver hits multiple vehicles | October 2, 2011Staff Drunk driver hits multiple vehicles Around 2 a.m. Sunday, Oxford Police officers arrived at the scene of a hit-skip accident. Officers were told that a white truck had hit several vehicles, causing heavy damage. Officers located the truck in the Kroger parking lot and the driver, Miami University first year Sara Fink, 18, had blood on her face. Fink was crying and very upset. The truck reportedly was missing the front passenger tire and the airbags were deployed. Officers determined Fink had hit five vehicles. She begged police to let her go. The police had to break the passenger window to get her out of the vehicle. The police smelled alcoholic beverages in the car and there was a wristband from a bar. She was transported to McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital where she was unconscious when police arrived. She was charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to control and underage intoxication. Male breaks, enters... cooks? Around 3:30 a.m. Saturday, Oxford police officers responded in reference to a burglary in the 300 block of Poplar Street. Police met with three residents of an apartment and learned that a male, later identified as 23-year-old Miami University student Louis Cavallaro, had entered their apartment, possibly through an open door, and started to cook food. Two of the residents had returned to the apartment and found the intruder inside and the fire alarm going off due to food burning on the stove. They woke up their other roommate and learned that the man entered without permission. Cavallaro left the apartment and was later found in another building in the complex. Police identified and arrested Cavallaro on charges of burglary. He was processed and taken to Butler County Jail. Lost wallet results in citation Around 10:30 p.m. Saturday, officers were called to Fiesta Charra Restaurant to meet with the manager of the restaurant in reference to a wallet that had been left by a customer. When the manager checked the wallet for identification, they found what they thought was a fictitious driver's license. When the officer took the wallet and looked inside for identification, he found Ohio and Pennsylvania licenses. Both had the same information except for the date of birth and the address. The Ohio license was valid and the Pennsylvania license didn't show up on file. Police called the female and left a message for her to come get her wallet. When the female, identified as 20-year-old Miami University sophomore Ashley Greyson, arrived at the station, she repeatedly kept saying she didn't have a fake ID and she turned 21 in 10 days. Greyson could offer no plausible answer to why she was carrying a Pennsylvania license, according to police reports. Police charged her for having false identification.
