Man Arrested For DUI (Had Kitten in Pocket) After Tractor Chase

[Champ]

MARISSA, Ill. (AP) A southern Illinois man led a sheriff's deputy on a bizarre tractor chase that ended with his arrest on a felony charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.

The case began when St. Clair County Deputy Scott Toth was called to investigate a blue 1996 Chevrolet that was in a ditch. Authorities said the car had severe front-end damage but no driver.

During his search of Jenkins, Toth also found an injured kitten in his shirt pocket. Jenkins said the kitten had been inside the Chevrolet and was injured when the car hit a power pole, and he put it in his pocket to keep it warm, Johnson said. Johnson did not know if the kitten survived.

``It's certainly a weird case,'' Johnson said.

Jenkins has been convicted of driving on a revoked or suspended driver's license six times and for driving under the influence of alcohol four times.
