Gainesville man arrested for driving while impaired and hitting an occupied crane on S. Main Street
Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Jeremiah Alan Boles, 26, was arrested early yesterday morning and charged with DUI with property damage after allegedly driving while impaired and hitting an occupied crane on South Main Street.
At about 7:06 a.m. on June 7, a Gainesville Police Department officer responded to a crash in the 200 block of S. Main Street and found a Toyota Corolla that had crashed into a stationary crane; the Corolla was severely damaged, including a roof that had been almost entirely torn off by the impact.
The officer noted that the driver, identified as Boles, had red, watery eyes and droopy eyelids.
Post Miranda, Boles reportedly said he had just finished his shift at Five Star Pizza and had been drinking at work.
The officer reported that Boles performed poorly on field sobriety exercises, and his breath samples, provided later at the jail, measured 0.272 and 0.277 g/210L, over three times the legal limit.
Boles’s co-worker was reportedly following him in another vehicle and saw him hit the crane.
Two workers were in the crane’s bucket, about five stories in the air, when the car hit the crane; a third worker was directing traffic and reportedly told the officer that the Corolla passed him at a high rate of speed before hitting the crane.
Boles has been charged with DUI with property damage; he has no local criminal history, and Judge Susan Miller-Jones ordered him released on his own recognizance.

Why was a crane working there at that hour? The Streatery? More unintended consequences from mayor porky pig.
What is so strange about people working at 7AM? That’s what people with jobs do. Maybe you should get one instead of lying in bed all day.

Mr. Peabody is a freeloading boomer if I ever seen one make stupid bigoted comments here.
Had he been a Blackman he would have been under the jail how tf he get out on a dui
Well, this guy has (had) a job. Maybe that is the difference.
The Report States That There Was 2 Workers Inside The Cranes Bucket. Mr. Boles Should Be Charged With DUI And Attempted Murder Of City Employees. Surely, Mr. Boles Observed The 2 Workers In The Crane Bucket Prior To Vehicle Man Slaughtering The Piece Of Heavy Equipment Called A “Crane”. Company Owned Property Damage Charge. You Judges And Bubblegum Free Lawyers Need To Wake Up And Smell The Coffee. These People Like Mr. Boles Mean To Kill “Anyone”They Can. AND get Away With It With Limited Bubblegum Charges. The Workers Could Have Possibly Fell From The Crane Bucket And Been Killed. Therefore In Pressing Charges You Charge As If They Did Fall and Suffered Death. Ask Harvard or Princeton University To Courrier Over Material From Their Law Books.Thanks
Mr. Boles Has Some Sort Of Chemical In His Left Eye. Maybe He Was Sprayed With “Mace” In His Left Eye Or Possible “Bug Spray. Mr. Boles Is Not Telling And Stating The Truth And Nothing But The Truth. Mr. Boles Was Running From Someone To Somewhere. He’s Upset In His Mug shot, Hurt from pain in his Left Eye. And He Surely Wanted To End Those Crane Operator Bucket Workers Lives. Judges and Lawyers Need To Be More Schooled In More Areas. Like Body Language, Science, Anatomy, Autopsy Of Cadavers And Human Behavior. To Do Their Jobs Better, Faster And More Efficient And Up To Date Of Year 2025. Thank You
This Is The Month Of June. In The Year 2025. Judges And Lawyers Need To Be Required By State Law To Be More Rounded. They Should Be Required By Law To Stay Enrolled And Active In College. Lawyers and Judges Have To Constantly Learn And Be Taught. Should Keep Up With World And Local And State News Reporting. THEY SHOULD STUDY EVERYTHING and ANYTHING They CAN CONSTANTLY Month after Month. Year after Year. Require These Judges And Lawyers and State Attorneys To Study More Than Words Like” Nolle “and “ROR”.
Study Self Defense, Study Mind Over Matter, Study Animal Behavior which links up to human behavior. Study Many Categories. Then You Will Be More Qualified To Judge And Decision Make And FBI Decide Someone’s Punishment That Fits His or Her Crime. Investigate More Than You Are. Your Decision Capabilities Are Lacking. Thank You
What kind of traffic control did they have in place? Were there cones and an arrow board directing drivers around the crane. And yes, it is not uncommon to perform sign maintenance and other work on the exterior of buildings that early to minimize risk and avoid high traffic volumes.
