Snow Plow Driver Allegedly Did '3 Bumps of Cocaine' Before Wild Ride That Smashed Porch and Garage By KC Baker

A snow plow driver in Connecticut went on a wild ride while allegedly high on three bumps of cocaine, damaging a porch, two cars and a garage — all on his first day on the job.

Mark Keene, 46, of Fairfield, was arrested on Jan. 8 and charged with reckless driving and operating under the influence, online court records allege.

His arrest stems from an incident on Dec. 28, at 7:15 a.m., when he was doing a snow plow job in his truck near Glen Ridge Road and Tahmore Drive in Fairfield, according to a warrant obtained by News 12 Connecticut, ABC 7 and CT Insider.

According to the warrant, he allegedly veered off the road onto the walkway of one house, drove across the front yard of that residence and hit the front porch of the home next door, causing one side to fall.

Ring camera footage shows the truck hitting the front porch, driving over a stone wall and through the neighboring property, News 12 Connecticut reports.

The truck can be seen on the video obtained by News 12 Connecticut speeding across a street to another house where it slammed into a sedan in the driveway, pushing it into a closed garage, and coming to rest under an SUV parked inside, according to the video.

Officers responding to a 911 call about the crash said they found Keene sitting in his truck, saying he “had no idea that he was just involved in a collision,” the warrant alleges.

Keene allegedly had “slurred speech and pinpoint pupils in both eyes,” the warrant alleges.

Soon after, he “began to foam at the mouth and turned blue,” the warrant said, prompting an officer to give him Narcan and call for an ambulance.

Inside the ambulance, Keene allegedly fought with EMTs, who had to tie him to the stretcher, the warrant alleges.

He allegedly bit an officer’s hands and arms, the warrant says.

Later, Keene told police that before he went to plow some driveways, he had a verbal argument with his girlfriend on the phone, the warrant states.

He allegedly told police he did “three ‘bumps’ of cocaine,” the warrant says. The next thing he remembered was sitting in the truck in the driveway where police found him, according to the warrant.

Toxicology tests done on Keene came back positive for the presence of cocaine, benzodiazepines and cannabinoids, the warrant alleges.

The incident took place on Keene’s first day working for a landscaping company, News 12 Connecticut reports.

The owner told police he hired Keene the day before and told him to plow and sand two specific driveways, which he never did, according to the warrant.

Keene turned himself in on Jan. 8 and posted a $15,000 bond. 

He is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 25.

It is unclear whether he has retained an attorney who can speak on his behalf.
