Jasper man who claimed he had "enough to inebriate an elephant" bound over for trial for DWI

A Jasper man waived his preliminary hearing on felony driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest by fleeing charges in Jasper County Circuit Court today and was bound over for trial.

Christopher Daniel Ferrari (DOB 1988) will be arraigned February 26 in Division III.

The arrest following an accident near Civil War Road in Carthage in December, was the third DWI arrest for Ferrari in 2023.

The Jasper Police Department arrested Ferrari for driving while intoxicated in the school pick up line January 28. Ferrari pleaded guilty to that charge April 19.

The Neosho Police Department arrested him May 30 for felony DWI and driving while revoked. His next hearing in that case is scheduled for February 24.

During the most recent incident, the probable cause statement says Ferrari fled from the accident and was arrested following a pursuit by the Jasper County Sheriff's Office, Carthage Police Department and Jasper Police Department.

The statement says Ferrari told officers he had been drinking whiskey and had "enough to inebriate an elephant."
