Gravestones were damaged at Ebenezer Cemetery outside of Leaf Valley during the early morning hours of Thursday, Sept. 23.
Jerit Rud, 38, originally from Douglas County, but whose current license is from Fort Charlotte, Florida, was heading east on County Road 5 when he went into the ditch, jumped the cemetery's approach, became airborne and crashed into the headstones, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office..

According to Sgt. Scot Umlauf, Rud was arrested on suspicion of DWI, and a blood test was taken and sent off to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension in St. Paul.
"We don't suspect it to be the result of alcohol; that is why a blood test was administered," said Umlauf.
Results for the blood test are pending and could take up to a month to get back.
