Man Makes Fans Miss End of Super Bowl
BRENTWOOD, Calif. (AP) -- Police have arrested a man on suspicion of
crashing his car and causing a power outage that disrupted the Super Bowl
for thousands of football fans.
Luis Mendoza, 31, was arrested on misdemeanor driving under the influence
charges for allegedly running into a power pole and short-circuiting TV
reception for 8,300 customers in Brentwood during the final minutes of the
Super Bowl.
Mendoza was arrested at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek where he
was being treated for leg injuries.
Football fans missed the final two touchdowns that led to the New York
Giants' upset of the New England Patriots.
Pacific Gas & Electric says all but 23 customers got their electricity
back
within two hours of Sunday's accident.
