The preliminary investigation showed a pickup truck driven by 45-year-old Justin Taylor of Greenville was traveling southeast-bound on SR 571 West.
The truck then traveled off the right side of the road, struck a mailbox, entered the ditch, and struck a utility pole.
While on scene, Taylor presented several indicators of being under the influence of alcohol, according to deputies.
Taylor was not injured as a result of the crash.
Taylor was placed under arrest for suspicion of Operating a Vehicle while under the Influence of Alcohol (OVI) and was taken to Darke County Jail.
He later submitted to a breathalyzer test and was booked into jail.
Taylor is being charged with two counts of OVI, a first-degree misdemeanor, and Failure to Control a Motor Vehicle, a minor misdemeanor.
He has since posted bond pending his arraignment with the Darke County Municipal Court.
The crash remains under investigation.
