That guy got away, but this other one didn't get far...

What started out as a wedding party turned into a wild night that involved a bar fight, a stolen vehicle, and a suspect passed out behind the wheel of said stolen vehicle. Police say a 31-year-old Pennsylvania man is now facing a number of charges after the series of wild altercations took place early Sunday morning.

WKTV says the man was at the party with friends when a very courteous bartender at the Back Door Bar in Old Forge, NY offered to drive the wedding guests back to the cottage they were staying in. This apparently didn't sit well with the suspect, who got into a fight with a friend at the bar, according to police. When the bartender tried to break up the scuffle, our suspect made a mad dash for a bar customer's vehicle that had been left running in the parking lot.

Authorities say the suspect didn't get too far as he was later found passed out behind the wheel of the same vehicle on State Route 28. Police say when they caught up with him, the sleeping suspect awoke and began fighting with them as he was being placed under arrest. He was finally taken into custody with a blood alcohol level of .22%, which is over two and half times the legal limit.

Old Forge is a hamlet in the town of Webb, in Herkimer County.
