An allegedly intoxicated man played bumper cars on Frances and then Southard streets about 5:15 p.m. Monday, causing an estimated $20,000 in damage to property in his path, police said.

Kenneth Scott McKiel was charged with four misdemeanors: hit and run, DUI with property damage, refusing to submit to DUI tests and driving while his license was either suspended, canceled or revoked.

The 35-year-old self-employed carpenter who lives on Elizabeth Street, according to arrest records, was booked into the Monroe County jail on Stock Island without bond.

McKiel crashed a black Honda Accord into several parked cars, a scooter, a street sign, a bicycle rack at Cafe Sole and other property before he hit a fence at 1013 Southard St., according to police and witnesses.

He fled on foot to Grinnell Street, only to be detained by citizens who saw the crash.

A female passenger remained at the scene. It was unknown late Monday whether she would face any charges.
