A Palmerton man who urinated inside a grocery store and then sent police on a wild chase is headed to trial.

Gilbert C. Green, 63, waived his right to a preliminary hearing before District Judge Bruce Appleton of Palmerton on Wednesday. As a result, Green is scheduled to appear before the Carbon County Court of Common Pleas at 9 a.m. July 7.He is free in lieu of $5,000 unsecured bail.Green has been charged with two counts each of driving under the influence; resisting arrest; and aggravated assault; along with one count each of simple assault with a deadly weapon; public drunkenness; simple assault - attempt; disorderly conduct; fleeing or attempting to elude police officers; recklessly endangering another person; registration and certificates of title required; accidents involving damage to unattended vehicle; driving while operating privilege suspended or revoked; emerging from alley driveway or building; obedience to traffic control devices; driving on right side of roadway; following too closely; no passing zones; stop signs and yield signs; careless driving; reckless driving; trespass by motor vehicle; and driving vehicle at safe speed.According to the affidavit of probable cause filed by patrolman Kevin Buck:On May 18 at about 4:55 p.m., Buck was dispatched to the Country Harvest Supermarket for a report of an intoxicated male that urinated in the store, the affidavit says.Upon arrival, Buck was notified by the communication center that the male was in the parking lot wearing black jeans, a blue vest, and a camouflage hat, according to the affidavit.As Buck entered the lot, he viewed the male near a tan colored pick-up truck, and approached him to ask if he was OK. The male said he was fine.Buck informed the male that he was called because it was reported that the male had urinated in the store. The male said that he did nothing of the sort.Buck then asked him for identification, and he said that he had none. Buck then asked him his name, and he stated "Lee."Buck asked "Lee" for his last name, and he eventually stated "Green." Green was asked if he had a driver's license, and he stated no.Buck then asked how he planned on getting home, and he said he was waiting for his brother "Gilly", who was across the street.Buck asked Green what his date of birth was, and he did not answer. Green, who was emitting an odor of alcohol from his facial area, then began walking away from Buck to put his shopping cart in the return isle.Buck asked him how old he was, and he said 46. Green then went back to his vehicle, and Buck placed his right arm on Green's shoulder and told him to stay where he was.Green leaned against his vehicle and again said that he did not urinate in the store. Buck then asked him why his pants were wet all the way down both legs, and he said he did not know.Buck again asked him what was going on, at which time he cursed at him and attempted to walk to the drivers side of his vehicle.Buck grabbed Green by his vest, and Green pulled away. He was then told that if he entered his vehicle, he was under arrest.Green then got into the already open drivers side door, again cursed at the officer, and told him "then arrest me."When Buck attempted to pull Green from the vehicle, he quickly started the truck, put it in drive and began driving while Buck was hanging on.After being drug approximately 5-10 feet, Buck let go and returned to unit #51. By this time, Green had exited the Country Harvest lot and entered Alley E, heading east bound.Buck, along with patrolman Kromer, pulled out after him with lights and siren activated. Buck attempted to stop the vehicle as he proceeded east in Alley E, passing a car, failing to stop at the Sixth Street intersection, into the 600 block, where he passed a second car, failed to stop at the Seventh Street intersection, where he proceeded north on Seventh Street and then east on Delaware Avenue, where he failed to stop at the posted stop sign located at Seventh Street and Delaware Avenue.Buck proceeded after the vehicle north onto Forest Inn Road, where another vehicle was passed. When the vehicle approached Stoney Ridge Road, he attempted to make a right onto Stoney Ridge Road and cut the wheel back left through a grassy area belonging to a home at the corner of Stoney Ridge Road and Forrest Inn Road and into the parking lot of Palmerton Garage Doors.At that time, at an approximate speed of 35-40 miles per hour, the vehicle struck the corner of the cinder block building, smashing the front end, causing a hole in the building and oil to splatter everywhere, including on the cruiser.Before the crash, Green was traveling at a high rate of speed, and was closing in on each vehicle he approached to an unsafe distance, nearly causing several other accidents.Buck requested an ambulance and began to exit the cruiser, at which time the pick-up truck went into reverse and due to a snapped axle, was only able to make a semicircle before it crashed into the cement area where the Palmerton Garage Door sign was set.As it struck the cement area, the rear of the pick-up truck got hung up on the wall and was stuck in place. At that time, Buck approached the vehicle with taser drawn, and Kromer approached with his service weapon drawn.Upon approaching the vehicle, they found Green lying across the seat. Kromer holstered his weapon and opened the door, when he found Green apparently blacked out and beginning to come to.Buck ordered Green from the vehicle, and he stated he would do what the police wanted. Kromer then entered the truck from the passenger side to turn the now smoking heavily and fluid draining vehicle off.Once Green was removed from the vehicle, he was placed against his truck, and Buck attempted to handcuff him as he resisted arrest from both officers.Once Green was handcuffed, he refused to enter the cruiser. Buck was able to begin to get him in the car, and at that time, Kromer and now on scene trooper Doblovasky pulled him through via the passenger side.With the accident scene under control of State Police of Lehighton, Buck transported Green to Palmerton Hospital. Once there, Buck read to him his chemical test warnings, which he agreed to and submitted to a blood test.At approximately 5:55 p.m., phlebotomist Diana Capuco drew blood from Green's left arm. At that time, it was found that the license of Gilbert Green was currently suspended, and the registration of the vehicle had expired in April of this year.On May 21, the blood results were received and showed that Green's blood alcohol content was a .30 percent.
