Drunken Driver Parks on Mich. Police Lawn

Barely Hanging On — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:12:42 +0000

This is a great story out of Michigan. Seems a six time dui loser passed out behind the wheel for a little nap. Only he decided to do it right on the front lawn of the Michigan State Police post in Paw Paw. What makes it even nicer was the fact that he had just puked all over himself and that was what made him pull over and sleep.

"The driver could not remember where he was coming from, but said he was on his way home and thought he was almost there. But he lives in the Grand Rapids area — 60 miles away. He said he was looking for a place to stop and rest after getting sick. He told police he tried to park in the post's parking lot but was too drunk and couldn't stop and ended in the grass.

Preliminary tests show his blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit. According to police, the driver has been arrested six times in the past for drinking and driving offenses. His license has long since been revoked."

Barbara C. Wagner DUI Video

Barely Hanging On — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 09:59:11 +0000

Hey look another politician arrested on a DUI charge that thinks they are more important to the world than they really are. This drunken driver had a smack of reality recently when nobody at the police station seemed to care that Barbara C. Wagner, 59, of 11 Lake Shore Trail was "a member of the Glastonbury Town Council" and that she approved their salaries.

Watch the rant, it's really quite pathetic. City Council. Woo, big timers. Not, enjoy rehab. It's too bad the taxpayers have to pay for it.

This always makes you feel safe. Here's a lesson if you are going to be lowlife and drink and drive, pick something a little more auspicious then a steamroller.

A Pflugerville man is arrested for driving home a piece of construction equipment, police say while intoxicated. FOX 7 News first reported this in October, now Pflugerville Police are releasing the video.

A patrol officer spotted the road roller at four in the morning, driving down Immanuel Street."The vehicle was actually weaving. There were no flagmen, no lights on it. It was dark and it was a dangerous situation," Asst. Chief Jim McLean said. The officer put on his lights, and pulled the driver the equipment over. The driver– 32 year old Ronald Howell– told the officer he was walking from Players Night Club and Tuffs Tavern. He took the Dynapac Vibrator Roller from a construction site at F.M. 1825, and started driving it home.

Well it wouldn't be right if I went over a week or two and didn't report on a loser getting nailed for DWI on a lawnmower. This time we are in Minnesota and imagine that, the arrested lives on a trailer park. Shocker.

A 42-year-old Hutchinson man has been charged with two counts of driving while intoxicated after allegedly driving his yellow International Cub Cadet lawn tractor while drunk Thursday evening. Darwin Lyle Christensen was arrested about 6:20 p.m., booked and taken to the McLeod County Jail in Glencoe. He has been charged by the McLeod County Attorney’s Office with two counts of DWI, including third-degree DWI, a gross misdemeanor, and one petty misdemeanor count of urinating in public.

Witnesses told Hutchinson police that a man was driving on School Road Northwest on the lawn tractor and appeared to be drunk. They reported the man went to Superamerica, bought beer and headed back north, allegedly stopping to urinate near Meadowlinks Golf Course and tossing a beer can in the ditch.
