DURING A CROSS COUNTRY FLT, THE PLT HAD DIVERTED TO ANOTHER ARPT FOR FUEL. THE PLT WAS UNABLE TO ACTIVATE THE RWY LIGHTS AND A FORCED LANDING WAS MADE THAT WAS PERPENDICULAR TO THE RWY. UPON INSPECTION OF THE ACFT, AN INCORRECT FREQUENCY WAS NOTED ON THE RADIO. THE DAY AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE CORRECT FREQUENCY WAS USED AND THE RWY LIGHTS DID ACTIVATE. THERE WAS NO FUEL NOTED IN THE FUEL TANKS OR FUEL LINES. THE PLT HAD STATED THAT HE HAD CONSUMED SOME ALCOHOL DURING DINNER, HOWEVER, A BLOOD TEST WAS CONDUCTED WHICH WAS REPORTED AS NEGATIVE. THE PLT HAD ALSO TAKEN THE ACFT WHICH THE OPERATOR REPORTED AS AN UNAUTHORIZED FLT. THE PLT DID NOT FILE AN ACC REPORT AND HIS FLT TIME WAS NOT REPORTED OR AVAILABLE.
