Brooks Royal, 36, of Lawrenceburg, was arrested by Dearborn County Sheriff’s deputies after wrecking early Monday morning at Vine Street in Lawrenceburg. Deputies say Royal was drunk and allegedly left the scene before he was taken into custody.
When he was being booked into jail at the Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center, Royal smiled and waved in his mugshot.
Meanwhile, Royal is charged with OWI and Leaving the Scene of an Accident.
