Newsnet5.com reports Chuck Galeti, a sport-talk host for WTAM-AM in Cleveland, Ohio, apparently drove his car off the road while DUI. He now faces 7 separate charges including: resisting arrest, driving with a suspended license and possession of marijuana.

Police say he fled the scene after crashing into a mailbox and taking it out. WTAM's Program Director says Mr. Galeti is "taking some time off", according to Newsnet5.com.

The story is slightly reminiscent of the recent troubles of Pat Snyder from WSAU-AM in Wausau, Wisconsin, who tried to drive his motorcycle home allegedly drunk and hit a signpost.
