SAN DIEGO DUI News -- The Jewel Box Bar was opened for business Sunday an alleged drunk driver plowed his SUV into the side of the bar Saturday night, leaving a gaping hole in the wall.

The bar on 16th and G Streets is hosting Chargers' football fans Sunday.

An enormous mural is hiding the 10-foot-wide by 5-foot-high hole left by the male driver, who crashed a Chevrolet Blazer into the place around 11:20 p.m. Saturday, said owner Holly Peterson.

"Nothing stops those Chargers fans," Peterson said today over the din of noisy fans.

The man was taken to county jail, but it was unknown if he was still in custody.

The only injury was a bloody nose, apparently caused by flying debris, Peterson said.

Peterson arrived to find the front end of the car wedged about six feet inside the bar, she said. It was too late to buy plywood, so she covered the hole with the mural instead.

Police Sunday confirmed the crash, but would not provide details.

According to 10News, police found drugs and paraphernalia in the man's vehicle.

Peterson said the driver exited the 94 freeway near the bar.

Peterson said she was not at the bar at the time but was notified as soon as it happened. Her first reaction, she said, was "Oh my God, I hope no one is hurt."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jaguars left tackle Khalif Barnes was benched and fined Sunday following his arrest on alleged drunk driving charges.

Barnes was allegedly driving his car faster than 100 mph and failed two breathalyzer tests early Saturday, according to a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office report. He spent several hours in the Duval County jail before being released on $500 bond.

"I thought he acted extremely selfishly from being out that late in the first place on a Friday night to putting himself and other people in our community at risk by the reckless driving. And on top of that he had the DUI citation," coach Jack Del Rio said following his team's 13-10 loss to Houston on Sunday.

According to the police report, Barnes was allegedly driving his 2007 silver Mercedes 101 mph in a 60 mph zone. His vehicle passed a police car and was pulled over. Barnes told the officer he had one drink at a club, but he then failed a field sobriety test and was arrested. He had a blood alcohol level of 0.12, according to the report, above the legal limit of 0.08.
