Jerry Wayne Brock, 53, of 1128 Brookside Parkway in Bartlesville, notched his fourth DWI arrest a little after 6:30 p.m. Friday after a man called to report a hit and run at U.S. Highway 190 and Harrison Avenue, better known as Dog Pound Road.
Details of the accident were unknown. No major injuries, however, occurred, Covington Police Capt. Jack West said.

Brock, apparently, had caused the first wreck and then fled northbound on Hwy. 190, first stopping at the Rouse’s supermarket for some more drinks, West said.
“I guess he was going to buy some more alcohol but found out he was too drunk to walk and gave that up pretty quick,” West said.
Brock then proceeded northbound, West said, where he drove straight into a red 2009 Ford Fusion at U.S. 190 and Gratitude Street. The driver, Kelsey Markey, 20, told police she saw the Mazda barreling toward her but it was too late to avoid a collision, West said.
Markey wasn’t injured and fled to call police. Now within Covington Police Department’s jurisdiction, officers sped to the scene.
Brock was located a short time later in the back seat of the Mazda parked in the Main Street Shopping Center near the Louisiana Highway 25 area, West said.
“I don’t know if he crawled in the back seat to hide or he stopped to pass out,” West said.
When officers tapped batons on the windows, Brock allegedly awoke and became combative, hurling obscenities and attempting wiggle free from the officers’ grasps.
He was arrested and charged with DWI, careless operation of a motor vehicle, driving while license is suspended, hit and run and resisting arrest.
He refused to submit to a blood alcohol test.
“It really is a shame,” West said. “In my experience as a law enforcement officer, someone who urinated on themselves is usually a .4 blood alcohol level.”
The legal limit is .08.
Once officers had identified Brock as the driver involved in both hit and runs, they ran his driver’s license through a records check. The check indicated his license was suspended for three previous DWI’s. Brock had two warrants for failing to appear in court on two other DWI cases.
