In Southwest Philadelphia, a drunk driver arguing with a woman in another car early yesterday lost control, steered his vehicle onto the sidewalk and slammed into the headquarters of Southwest Detectives and the 18th Police District.
Justin Hudson, 22, was charged with driving under the influence after the 1:15 a.m. incident. The impact knocked a few bricks loose from the building but did not compromise its stability.

And in Nicetown, PA a man got into a gun battle outside a community meeting attended by a police captain and another officer.
The two officers heard shots, hurried outside, spotted Durrell Bolling blasting away at two other armed men and promptly arrested him.
Bolling, 22, of Champlost Avenue near Mascher Street, was charged with gun offenses and recklessly endangering another person after the 6:35 p.m. shootout.
When the police repeatedly ordered Bolling to drop his spent weapon, he did and was arrested without resistance. He was treated at Temple University Hospital for a leg wound he had received in the shootout.
The other gunmen ran off and were still at large last night.
