A California man looking for a parking place hit nearly two dozen cars and two people during a wild ride was charged with drunk driving / DUI and hit-and-run.
David Wecksler, 31, of Long Beach, was charged with two misdemeanor counts including California DUI after the blocks-long accident spree in Belmont Heights.
Prosecutors contend that Wecksler was drunk when his GMC Sierra Truck sideswiped rows of parked cars on Feb. 15. Two people also were struck but had only minor scrapes.
According to a police report, Wecksler told officers he had been drinking while playing poker with some friends but contended a blown tire caused him to lose control of the car.

Wecksler allegedly has a 2003 conviction for DUI and his license was suspended 4 times.
