The vehicles, light poles and bus stop were all heavily damaged, police said.
South Portland officers found Graffam later with help from Portland police K-9s. He was treated for minor injuries at the hospital, police said.
He was charged with operating under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident, reckless conduct and aggravated criminal mischief. Police say he may face additional charges as the investigation continues.
