Arrest — A Bowling Green man was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after a crash Saturday afternoon.

The Warren County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded to a crash in the 8600 block of Morgantown Road, where they determined that a 1999 Dodge Ram pickup truck driven by Perry Pitcock, 56, of Bowling Green, went into a ditch and overturned.
