Officers followed a fluid trail to the 400 block of Green Street, where they found the wrecked car.As the vehicle was being towed, Amparo approached the tow truck driver and officer to tell him that the car was his, but denied that it had been in a crash or that he had been driving. The 22-year-old was allegedly holding an open bottle of Hennessy cognac and smelled of alcohol, according to court records. The officer tried to take Amparo into custody for public drunkenness, but he pulled away and ran before being tackled in the area of Green and Penn streets. Police said he continued to struggle until a second officer arrived to help apprehend Amparo. A search allegedly turned up a baggie of marijuana in his pants pocket.
