Some guys have all the luck. 

When the Los Angeles Police Department arrived on the scene in Los Feliz on August 22, they found a man barely able to walk, and several parked cars sideswiped. 

A witness to the incident captured the driver of a Dodge Charger stumbling and tripping over his own feet as the LAPD officers looked on. 

What happened next has led to an investigation of the officers, as they appeared to simply allow the intoxicated man to walk away. 

NEW: LAPD tells us they have launched a personnel investigation after video shows officers letting what appears to be an extremely inebriated driver stumble away from the scene after he crashed into several parked cars in Los Feliz.

Katy Wicker, recorded on her cell phone just after the man hit three cars. 

“He was completely intoxicated the entire time,” she told CBS Los Angeles. “It was apparent to everyone that was there. He was yelling at everyone. He was yelling aggressive comments at police officers, at the ambulance that was there, at the tow truck driver, and he literally stumbled away.”

Wicker told CBS LA the police didn't give the man a breathalyzer test, a field sobriety test, and didn't arrest the man. 

“He could have killed someone,” Wicker said. “He could have injured people. He could have done a lot more damage than he did.”
