A popular Fairfield sushi restaurant is shut down for at least a few weeks, after a drunk driver crashed into it early Friday morning, causing extensive damage before he drove off and hid the vehicle in a nearby garage, according to police.

The wreck occurred around 1:47 a.m., when Alexander Sherwood, 21, of Fairfield, allegedly drove a Volkswagen Jetta into the side of Yo! Sushi restaurant at 1430 N Texas St.

Police said after Sherwood struck the building, which knocked out one wall, the front counter, and the majority of seating, he backed out and drove off. Following the tire marks left by Sherwood, police traced the vehicle to a home in the 300 block of Wyoming St., where Sherwood allegedly attempted to hide the car in the home’s garage.

Sherwood was arrested at the residence on suspicion of driving under the influence.

Owner Jeffrey Kim estimates the restaurant will be closed for roughly three weeks as a result of repairs.
