A Weatherford man was arrested in Mineral Wells Sunday morning after reportedly striking two telephone poles and a street sign.
According to police reports, Harlin Russell Jessup, 21, was traveling eastbound in the 600 block of S.W. 1st Street at 11:50 p.m. Saturday night when he reportedly lost control of his 1990 GMC pickup and struck the first telephone pole.
Police reported that Jessup continued eastbound, struck a road sign and collided with a second telephone pole.
Police officials said that when Jessup was confronted by the officer, he stated that his name was Clark Bryson.
