Witnesses on the scene said Kopta was backing into his driveway when he crashed into the house.
After investigating, officers searched Kopta as well as his car, allegedly finding fentanyl and methamphetamine, and determined he was driving while under the influence of a narcotic with a suspended license.
Kopta was transported to a local hospital for treatment and then transported to the City of Jamestown Jail where he was charged with driving while intoxicated drugs, criminal possession of a controlled substance 7th, unsafe backing and aggravated unlicensed operation 3rd.
He has since been released with appearance tickets to appear in court at an undisclosed date and time.
