​"Fair was arrested and faces several charges, including DUI, failure to maintain a lane, no insurance, no registration, possession of methamphetamine and a warrant out of Colorado," said Malatesta.

Malatesta says Fair had to be extricated from the van. He was taken to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center for treatment.
