NEWPORT-Cocke County Road Superintendent John Holloway's driving woes continue.

According to Tennessee Highway Patrol Sgt. Jarrett W. Ramsey, Holloway was involved in a single-vehicle accident at 4:49 p.m. on Saturday.

The accident report, filed by Trooper Randy Spurgeon, states that Holloway was alone when the right front wheel of the 2000 Ford F-350 pick-up truck he was driving dropped off Huff Hollow Road into a ditch line.

"Mr. Holloway was attempting to turn into a private driveway at the time of the accident," Ramsey said.

At the time of the accident, Holloway was pulling a trailer which carried a lawn mower. The mower rolled into the truck's tailgate and inflicted damage, according to the report.

Spurgeon's report also states that Holloway "had been drinking" and that there was "a presence of alcohol."

Holloway, according to the report, refused to submit to drug and alcohol tests.

Charges are pending, according to Spurgeon's report.

Last month, Holloway entered guilty pleas to two driving under the influence (DUI) charges and was placed on two years of probation by Cocke County Criminal Court Judge Rex Henry Ogle for two previous incidents.

Ogle accepted Holloway's plea-bargain, but cautioned the defendant that, even though he pled guilty to two counts of first-offense DUI, if he is arrested again for drunk driving, the state could choose to charge him as a third-offender and the penalties would be greater.

"I hope that doesn't happen," Holloway said.

"So do I," Judge Ogle said. "But I wanted to be sure you understand that."

Authorities reported in August 2008 that Holloway was westbound on I-40 and was exiting onto Highway 25/70 at the 432 Exit when the Chevrolet Tahoe he was driving slid on gravel lining the side of the cloverleaf exit ramp.

A test taken after the first incident showed that Holloway had a .27 percent blood/alcohol content.

Holloway was arrested again this past February 20 by Newport Police after a traffic accident on Cosby. Holloway allegedly drove his Chevrolet pickup through the McDonald's restaurant parking lot and struck the rear of a Cosby resident's Nissan Maxima. The vehicle then left the parking area, struck a mailbox, and traveled onto the curb and through a flower bed before knocking down a concrete safety post, police reported.

Holloway was found at the Cosby Highway Exxon station "in a heavily intoxicated state," according to investigators.
