TOWN OF JEFFERSON — A Juda man was arrested on multiple charges Aug. 31 after driving off from a disturbance at a home, crashing his vehicle and damaging a corn field, according to the Green County Sheriff’s Office.

Joseph T. Klessinger, 22, is charged with domestic abuse-related disorderly conduct, resisting or obstructing an officer, possession of drug paraphernalia and carrying a concealed weapon, all misdemeanors.

He was also issued traffic citations for first-offense operating while under the influence of alcohol, failure to keep a vehicle under control, failure to report an accident to law enforcement, non-registration of an auto and no vehicle insurance.

At about 5:45 p.m. Aug. 31, deputies responded to a report of a crash in the N2200 block of Twin Grove Road and arrived to discover the vehicle and driver were gone.
