PORTER COUNTY, Ind. — A South Haven man is facing drunk driving charges after a woman jumped out of his moving car Thursday night during an argument and was taken to the hospital unconscious.

The Porter County Sheriff’s Department says Samuel Clarida, 26, had a blood alcohol content level more than twice the legal limit.

He told police he and the woman had just left a bar, where he consumed a bucket of six beers.

Clarida said the 25-year-old woman that was with him had also been drinking. They were traveling north on McCool Road when they got into an argument. The woman asked Clarida to pull over so she could get out, but he refused.

The woman then opened the passenger door while the vehicle was moving 40 miles an hour and jumped out. The woman was taken to the hospital.

Clarida faces three misdemeanor counts of drunk driving and is now in the Porter County Jail.
