HYANNIS — It was an unhappy birthday for an alleged drunken driver who crashed into a local liquor store yesterday, the police said.
At 1:34 a.m., a witness on Main Street called police to report seeing a man driving a 2009 Honda Civic through a series of bushes near the Paddock restaurant, across the West End Rotary and into the Hyannis Package Store on Main Street.
The police said Bernard Kilroy, 27, of Centerville, crashed into the front window of the building and his car came to rest completely inside the store. He then put his car in reverse, exited the store and left the scene, the police said.
Investigators were able to identify Kilroy because the car's front bumper — including the license plate — was torn off the vehicle and left inside the damaged building.
Kilroy was arrested a short time later in the parking lot of a store in Centerville, the police said.
Cory Fitzgerald, manager of Hyannis Package Store, said the right side of the building was badly damaged, and the car took out one of the store's main wine racks.
Fitzgerald said about 2,000 bottles of wine from around the world were broken or damaged, but he could not give an estimate of the damaged goods. In addition, the stained carpet had to be replaced and "disaster specialists" had to be called in to clean up the mess, Fitzgerald said.
The store is closed but Fitzgerald said he hopes to reopen within the next few days.
The entire incident was caught on surveillance videotape, he said.

Sean Sweeney, Barnstable PD:
“So when he back out he actually leaves the bumper of his car, rips right off, and he leaves the plate number.”
Reporter: “Police run that plate and quickly catch up to Kilroy.”
