BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. ( WKRG ) — A co-owner of Gambino’s Italian Restaurant in Fairhope was arrested around 11:20 Tuesday night after police received a call about a single-vehicle crash.
Officers said the single-car crash happened at the intersection of Bromley Road and Jimmy Faulkner Drive in Spanish Fort.

Spanish Fort Police Chief John Barber said Joshua Ryan Gambino, 51, ran off the road.
“My officer saw a Hummer H3 that had left the roadway was probably 30 to 40 yards into the wood line and struck a tree, and there was one subject out around the vehicle,” Barber said.
Gambino was injured, and officers confirmed he was disoriented.
“It appeared he was under the influence of something,” Barber said. “The suspect then becomes a little belligerent with the EMS personnel and the firefighters that were there trying to render aid to him, during the course of that, Mr. Gambino actually struck one of the firefighters in the face.”
