Roosevelt City Police were called to an accident at the Burger King at 525 South State Street, where a white Nissan truck struck the building and was still in line at the drive-thru.

Officer Bellon arrived on scene and saw the truck matching the description, and made contact with the driver, 34-year-old Kenneth Larry Mortensen.

The officer told Kenneth it was reported that he hit the building, but he said he didn't remember hitting it. Officer Bellon had Kenneth move his truck out of the drive-thru line and park it out of the way.

After Kenneth parked his truck, he got out and stood next to his vehicle, swaying. The officer asked if he had been drinking, and Kenneth replied no.

Officer Bellon noticed scratches on the side of his truck, which Kenneth said were from some fenders he had removed.

The officer had Kenneth get back in the seat of his truck and spoke with one of the employees who saw the accident. The employee stated he saw Kenneth hit the side of the building and noticed that Kenneth had a drink or something in his hand. The employee stated it looked similar to a beer can.

Kenneth was asked if he would do Field Sobriety Tests, to which he agreed.

Based on the results of the field sobriety tests, Kenneth was placed under arrest for DUI and transported to the Duchesne County Jail.
