Roy Davis Rydbom, of 6703 Absher Drive, ran off the road's limerock surface in his black Mazda Protege just before midnight Tuesday and crashed into a mobile home at 6635 Absher Drive, reports stated. No one was hurt in the incident. Deputies said Rydbom then fled the scene and went home. When they confronted Rydbom at his house, he told deputies that he had wrecked because "a cat ran out in front of his car." Reports stated that Rydbom's blood-alcohol level registered 0.204 and 0.199 on two respective tests. Drivers are presumed impaired at 0.08. Rydbom faces charges of driving under the influence, DUI property damage and leaving the scene of a traffic crash. He was taken to Land O'Lakes jail, where he remained Wednesday in lieu of $1,500 bail.
