POST FALLS — You could call it redneck bowling.

You could also call it illegal.

Spinning brodies (aka doughnuts) in the snow was the apparent cause of six portable restrooms being knocked over Sunday night. It’s also the alleged reason a 20-year-old Post Falls man spent a night in jail.

Louis R. Finlay was arrested for DUI and felony malicious injury to property after the alleged incident on Bunting and Warbler lanes near Greensferry Elementary.

"Louis mentioned he was just doing it for the fun of it," the police report states. "Louis mentioned he wasn't trying to ruin the port-a-potties,” just hit them.

Damage to the portable restrooms was estimated at $1,800.

A male passenger was also in the truck. A wooden marijuana pipe was found in the truck and seized as contraband to be destroyed. Two rifles were placed into evidence for safekeeping.

Finlay posted a $5,000 bond after his first appearance on Monday and was released from jail.
