Sebastopol police arrested a Guerneville man Sunday suspected of drunken driving after he damaged three parked vehicles and injured a woman, according to police Monday.

Just before 6 p.m., driver Forrest Dean Castle, 23, was heading out of downtown on South Main Street when his Ford Expedition struck vehicles parked on the street between Fannen and Walker avenues, said Sebastopol police Sgt. David Harston.

A 61-year-old woman sitting in the third vehicle suffered a head injury from the impact, Harston said.

At least three people called 911 and police arrested Castle on suspicion of felony DUI. He was booked into the Sonoma County Jail and remained in custody Monday morning in lieu of $100,000 bail.

The injured woman was taken to nearby Sonoma West Medical Center, treated and released.
