FALMOUTH — A Portland man is scheduled to go to court Sept. 8 on charges of driving under the influence of drugs after he drove into a house on Allen Avenue Extension in Falmouth.

Police charged Sean Fusco, 25, following the 7 p.m. crash. Fusco was driving on Ledgewood Drive and apparently ran a stop sign without slowing down, crashing into the front room of the house at about 35 mph, police said.

“Thank God nobody was in the house or passing in front of him on Allen Avenue,” said Lt. John Kilbride.

Fusco indicated that he is taking prescription medication but was charged after an evaluation by a drug recognition officer determined he was impaired, Kilbride said. He could not explain to officers where he was or what had happened, he said.

Fusco was not seriously injured.
