[July 09, 2010]  BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) -- A South Florida man reportedly drove his sport utility vehicle through the front of his house after arguing with his wife.

Police said officers responded to the home Sunday night to find the home's front door, window and wall in pieces. The man's wife told police that he had become angry at a Fourth of July party earlier, and the two continued to argue on the drive home. The wife and four of their children, who had also been in the SUV, got out of the vehicle and went inside. Moments later, the wife reported hearing a boom and saw the SUV in the living room.

Officers reported that the man's speech was slurred and he smelled like alcohol. He declined a blood-alcohol test.

The man faces several charges, including DUI property damage.
