Russ Leach, the former Riverside Police Chief who resigned last week, crashed a city-owned vehicle February 7. Investigators have been looking into the circumstances surrounding the crash and found that Leach had been drinking at a Colton strip bar hours before the incident.
According to a bartender, a manager and a dancer, Leach was drinking Chivas Regal Scotch whiskeys and eating chicken wings before he left the strip bar.
Leach went into the topless Club 215 at 10:24 p.m. and left at 1:48 a.m. Feb. 8, said club attorney Roger Jon Diamond.
"When he drove off, he did not appear to be driving erratically," Diamond said.
The crash occurred about 3 a.m. near Central and Hillside avenues in Riverside. The club then turned over the video to the California Highway Patrol, which is now investigating the crash.
According to the police report, the black Chrysler 300 had its front tires shredded to the rims, went on to hit a light pole and fire hydrant. Leach also drove three more miles before coming to a stop.
Leach, 61, later said he was on prescription drugs and "disoriented" at the time of the accident.
The California Highway Patrol is hoping to conclude its investigation in about a week.
Leach was in a situation that many people find themselves in, he had a few drinks and decided to drive home. Although it is not known whether Leach was drunk, he was still in an accident that caused property damage and is being investigated.
He also said that he was on prescription drugs and disoriented when the accident occurred. Driving under the influence can mean either driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, including prescription drugs.
