According to a sheriff’s report, Fields was driving a black Acura on Ohio 540 in the area of County Road 5 when he lost control and went off the side of the roadway, striking a guy wire just after 3 a.m.
He and a female passenger weren’t injured.
Fields told responding deputies that he’d slid off the road while driving his passenger home, and he admitted to having consumed “some” alcoholic beverages.
Deputies reported Fields smelled strongly of alcohol and couldn’t keep his balance during sobriety tests at the scene.
Fields was released from the Logan County Jail on Wednesday into the custody of a sober driver.
Logan County Sheriff Andrew Smith was unavailable for comment on Thursday.
