A Laurel County man is behind bars after sheriff's deputies said he hit his mother in the face, kicked her and crashed his truck into a car wash.

Deputies arrested Joseph Boswell, 38, early Monday morning and said he was under the influence of Roxicet, a prescription painkiller.

Surveillance video shows the truck leaving the road and ramming into the Ultimate Shine Car Wash near Highway 25 South in Corbin around 2:30 Monday morning.

Boswell got into a fight with his mother and then got behind the wheel, deputies said.

"For you to strike your mother, I think that's one of the most serious things you can ever do," said Gilbert Acciardo with the Laurel County Sheriff's Office. "If that's the influence of painkillers and pills on an individual, they don't need to do it. It's obvious."

What's also obvious is the damage to the car wash.

There's barely anything left of one side of the stall the truck barrelled into.

Tubes and piping are everywhere.

The owner closed the entire car wash because of concerns the building may collapse.

The owner did not want to talk on camera, but did tell WYMT he is not sure how long the business will remain clsoed or how much it will cost to repair it.

Although the damage is significant, deputies are thankful Boswell did not take away something that can't be rebuilt.

"This could have been so much worse," Acciardo said. "He could have been involved in a crash with another vehicle. Could have hurt somebody or killed somebody."

Deputies charged Boswell with reckless driving, operating a motor vehicle under the influence, assault and several other charges.

They took him to the Laurel County Detention Center.
