Southern Ave., South Williamsport, was charged by borough police with DUI following an incident at his home, where officers were called to investigate him on another matter about 10 p.m. on Aug. 8, according to an affidavit. While questioning him, Camp admitted that he had been drinking and had been driving as well, police said.

In another case, with his Ford Transit van's engine running, Matthew Lucas, sitting in the driver's seat, dozed off, his head resting on the driver's side window, in the 300 block of River Avenue in Loyalsock Township about 10 p.m. on last July 12, witnesses told state police.
Suddenly, Lucas, 49, of 2792 Hillside Ave., "began to move around in the van," which began to back up, striking a second vehicle in the lot, police said.
Lucas then got out of the van and walked around the building, police said. Troopers took him into custody following a brief pursuit, police said.
Lucas, who smelled strongly of an alcoholic beverage, admitted he was coming from "a buddy's home" where he consumed "a couple of drinks," it was stated in an affidavit.
With a BAC of .16, Lucas was charged with DUI and three summary offenses, including driving with a suspended license.
He has waived his preliminary hearing and is free on bail.
In another case, after running a red traffic light at West Fourth and Poplar streets about 10 p.m. on March 26, Craig Townsend, 54, of Suffolk, Virginia, suddenly pulled into a driveway and stopped as a city police officer was pursuing his 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe, according to an affidavit.
Smelling strongly of an alcoholic beverage and slurring his words, Townsend declined to perform field sobriety tests and refused to submit a blood sample, an officer, who believed Townsend was "too intoxicated to operate a vehicle" safely, said in the court document.
During questioning, Townsend gave a false identification several times, police said, adding that the officer only determined the driver's real identification after finding a driver's license in the man's wallet.
It turned out that there were "multiple arrest warrants out of Virginia" for him, police said. He was taken to police headquarters and fingerprinted, and this confirmed his identification, the affidavit stated.
Charged with DUI, false identification to law enforcement and driving with a revoked license, Townsend remains jailed in lieu of $25,000 bail.
