“Drunk driving severely impairs reaction time, judgment and motor skills, putting everyone on the road at risk,” the Apache Junction Police Department said in a statement. “Despite the severity of this incident, we are fortunate that no lives were lost; however, the outcome could have been much worse.”
It is unclear when Cains' first court appearance will be scheduled.
