DURHAM, N.C. - In some situations, it pays to watch your step.

Josue Herrios-Coronilla, 18, drove his black Camaro on the wrong side of the road Wednesday and crashed into the yard of man who owns four dogs, police said.

Investigating officers found crushed bushes, a damaged fence, an inoperable car — and a fresh shoeprint in a pile of dog feces.

Following an odoriferous trail down the street, Sgt. Dale Gunter noticed a white van driving toward him. When he asked the passenger to step out, he noticed the smell of alcohol on the man's breath and evidence all over his shoes.

Herrios-Coronilla was charged with driving while impaired and drinking underage and released on $1,500 bail. He could not immediately be reached for comment.

That was probably the most expensive dog poop that Josue will ever step in. Does the dog who created the pile get a reward or medal of honor in helping the police solve a crime?
