Author and journalist Robert Evans was running errands in South East Portland this Wednesday when he came across an accident scene where a drunk driver crashed his truck into a pole. According to witnesses, the driver spouted off an amusing theory as to who was responsible for the wreck.

“The short story is that a drunk man attempted to buy beer from a Plaid Pantry. He was turned down and peeled hard out of the parking lot, where he struck the guide wire on that pole,” Evans tweeted.

A witness told Evans that the man accused onlookers of causing the crash — calling them “antifa.”

According to Evans, the driver is in police custody.
