Man Faked Carjacking To Avoid DUI Arrest

Police say a suburban Chicago man faked a carjacking to avoid getting arrested for drunk driving.

DuPage County officials say 21-year-old Jason Atkins had too much to drink at a party in April and crashed his car into a tree.

To avoid detection, officials say he had two friends help him concoct a story about being carjacked at gunpoint.

The story started to unravel as Naperville police investigated the carjacking, and the two friends eventually told the truth about the accident.

Atkins was still in jail yesterday on $30,000 bond.

He is facing eight criminal charges, including an assault charge involving an officer he is accused of attacking during his arrest.
