BETHLEHEM, Pa. -Police in eastern Pennsylvania said a man charged with drunken driving faces more charges after allegedly trying to steal a tow truck a few hours later to retrieve his impounded vehicle.

Lower Saucon Township police allege that 29-year-old Timothy Peare, of Whitehouse Station, N.J., was spotted at 7:40 p.m. Sunday inside a tow truck at Saucon Collision, which was closed.

Police say he acknowledged that he was trying to start the truck to remove his impounded vehicle. Authorities said in court records he had been arrested on a drunken driving charge at 5 p.m. Sunday but did not say in what jurisdiction.

Peare is charged with criminal attempt to steal a vehicle, theft from a vehicle and loitering and prowling at nighttime. He was taken to Northampton County prison in lieu of $20,000 bail. A listed number for him could not be found Monday and it was unclear whether he had an attorney.

I've heard some pretty amazing DUI stories from DUIs on lawnmowers to a guy trying to drink the complimentary shot in the shower at jail because he thought it was a shot, but this may be the craziest DUI story ever.

This guy got arrested for DUI, got out, got a ride to a tow yard and attempted to steal a tow truck so he could steal his impounded car from the tow yard. Either this guys is crazy as hell or he had somewhere really important to be and needed that car. Screw waiting until the next day to negotiate with the tow guys. They'll screw you over anyway. Just bust the g-ride out and get back to the party. Wow!
