A Pleasantville man faces criminal charges after an alleged drunk driving crash in West Atlantic City Saturday night. Police say Franklin Espinoza-Bustillo ran over a fire hydrant and struck a telephone pole near the Black Horse Pike and Oxford Place, knocking power lines into the road. His front-seat passenger was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, leading to a charge of assault by auto. Espinoza-Bustillo was arrested for DWI at the scene and later released to a sober adult, while westbound lanes of the Black Horse Pike were closed for roughly four hours.
