A man is charged with driving under the influence and reckless driving after crashing into a Knox County Sheriff’s Cruiser.

KCSO says it happened Monday when two deputies were working traffic on I-275 at the I-640 ramp and had two cruisers blocking a ramp with their blue lights on.

That’s when the suspect, identified as Ronald Barrett Jr., hit one of the cruisers before stopping. Deputies smelled alcohol and found a beer can in the car’s floorboard and took him into custody.
