Prosecutor Ingrid Rosenquist said Phillip C. Holliday Jr. initially denied driving the truck involved in the March 7 crash in Billings. He told officers at the scene that a unicorn was driving, she said.</p><p>Holliday, 42, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to felony charges of criminal endangerment and drunken driving.</p> <p>A pickup truck drove through a red light and nearly struck another truck in the intersection, according to court documents. The driver then made an erratic U-turn through a gas station, crossed the street and crashed into a light pole. Nobody was injured.</p> <p>Holliday has five drunken-driving convictions. District Judge Gregory Todd kept his bail at $100,000 despite his lawyer arguing that Holliday's last such conviction was 14 years ago.</p></div></div>William Ruskhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04171535444809687261noreply@blogger.com
