Albany, Ore. – A man was arrested for DUII after he crashed into an Albany home while he was showing off his new car, according to police.
The Linn County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded to a crash on SE Spicer Road at around 2:50 Sunday morning.

The driver, identified as 33-year-old Joshua Pairan, told deputies he was “out for a drive to show his friends his new car.”
One of Pairan’s two passengers was taken to the hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries, according to deputies.
Pairan was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants, reckless endangering, reckless driving, criminal mischief and assault.
Deputies said alcohol and excessive speed appear to be contributing factors to the crash.
