By Pantagraph staff
BLOOMINGTON — The 25-year-old driver of a sports car was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol after hitting a pedestrian and crashing through the brick wall of a tavern’s patio early Sunday, police said.
Nicholas Sherrill, of the 1700 block of Rockingham Drive, was driving north on East Street just before 2 a.m. closing time and crashed into the back patio at Mulligan’s, 531 N. Main St., Bloomington, a police report said. The car went over the curb, hit a pedestrian on the sidewalk and crashed into the patio, police said.
The pedestrian was treated and released from a hospital, and a 22-year-old woman in the car did not seek medical attention. A section of the damaged wall was missing Monday night and the metal fence above was bent.
Sherrill posted $100 and his driver’s license and was released from McLean County Jail on Sunday, records said.
