"Thankfully, both of our officers involved in the crash earlier this morning have been discharged from the hospital and continue to recover at home," they wrote.

Officers told Erica Rakow, a reporter for WPLG Local 10 News who was present at the scene, that Arana refused to do a field sobriety test or give a blood sample and that investigators claim they found receipts for alcoholic drinks in his pockets.
