A man who police say crashed into the Lake City Dick's Drive-In, forcing the restaurant to close for more than a week while workers repair the building, has been charged with DUI.

Quote from the article:

That man, Colin John Sandwith, has pleaded not guilty. Staff of Dick's Drive-Ins announced Tuesday they hope to reopen the restaurant, at 12325 30th Ave. N.E., on April 5. Police say on March 25 about 9:20 p.m., Sandwith crashed his dark blue SUV into the front of the restaurant, damaging the metal counter, window and front tiled wall. He got out and said he hit the accelerator instead of the brake, according to investigators. Sandwith, 73, is affiliated with the University of Washington and the applied physics lab. He retired in January 2008 after 41 years at the university and was elected by colleagues to the rank of research associate professor emeritus. He did not return a call or e-mail for comment Tuesday.
