(SPRINGVILLE) - Lawrence County Deputies were called to a home in the 500 block of North Helton Road after they received a 911 call reporting a man was driving his vehicle in the caller’s yard.

The caller reported that the man seen driving the car was first banging on his door.

Then the man got back into his vehicle and almost hit the caller's house. Next, the driver of the vehicle was seen driving around in the caller's back yard.

The driver then drove around the house and hit a tree in the caller's front yard.
