Another drunk driver was nabbed in Woodstock Monday evening. Witnesses say around 9 pm the man was leaving the Wal-Mart parking lot onto Montclair Drive when he suddenly stopped the car, causing a line up of cars to form behind him. As he proceeded forward he drove across Montclair and into the ditch on the other side of the road. The witnesses called police and when the officers arrived they found the man leaning against his car. 28 year-old James Ficht was arrested and has been charged with impaired driving.
