CAPE CORAL, Fla. A man was arrested after a silver Buick crashed into a store on Del Prado Boulevard, the Cape Coral Police Department said.

Scott C. Ciak, 48, of the 1300 block of Southeast 17th Street in Cape Coral, is facing DUI charges after the wreck, which happened shortly after 10 p.m. at the Dollar Tree in the Coral Pointe Shopping Center on 1631 Del Prado Blvd. S., police said.

An investigation determined Ciak was impaired, police said, though a breathalyzer test did not show it. He appeared incoherent, had difficulty maintaining his balance, had mumbled speech and was sweating heavily, according to officers.

Police tried to conduct a drug impairment evaluation, but Ciak did not cooperate, police said.

Ciak is facing two counts — DUI and DUI with property damage. He’s in Lee County Jail on $3,000 bond.

This is the fourth vehicle-versus-building collision since Sunday.

A 25-year-old man was arrested Monday in connection to a crash at 3:40 a.m. at Hustlers on Santa Barbara Boulevard South. Two separate crashes happened Sunday evening on Rogers Street and in downtown Fort Myers.
