Titoris Tavarus Fambrough, 34, of Altarstone Drive, was arrested early Friday morning after he reportedly raced away from a police officer who flagged down his car for having loud music blaring from it.

The officer was on foot patrol at the Broadacres Homes housing complex shortly after midnight when he signalled for Fambrough to stop his car, Athens-Clarke County police said. Fambrough initially complied, but then allegedly endangered several people who were out and about when he sped from the complex, according to police. Police went to Fambrough's house in west Athens, where they reportedly found him in the yard. He explained to police he was being robbed by a backseat passenger and had sped off because the passenger said he would start shooting if they searched the car.

Fambrough, who had an odor of alcoholic beverage on his breath, told officers he did not care about being arrested because he would "just end up on probation anyway." He became disorderly at the jail, allegedly cursing at officers and pulling down his pants to expose himself. Other inmates at the jail reportedly told the man to calm down.

Police said a decision was made to not use a machine at the jail to measure Fambrough's blood-alcohol content level because it would not be safe to let him out of his cell due to his behavior.

Fambrough was charged with DUI, reckless conduct, obstruction of a law enforcement officer and violating the county's noise ordinance.
