is this true?

MrJerryK · 01-24-2007, 08:25 PM

dought it but it's funny

I have heard this one before, and according to my chief it is written in a book that the trooper wrote or wrote in.

I bet its true...From other officers I have heard people who have were so drunk that their vehicles had wedged against a bluff wall, and the wheels were still spinning. Upon closer inspection, the driver thought that he was still driving down the road until the officer knocked on the window and broke his concentration.

Alcohol is such a wonderful drug when drank in excess huh?

Good story.

Casper, Wyoming? I lived there for a short while. And I do remember that snow.

I don't know if the story is true or not, but it got a big laugh out of me!

Here is one for you involving a dui.

Years ago, while working patrol, my partner and I get a call concerning a traffic accident. When we get there, there is a almost brand new caddy whose front end had gone thru a block wall and was hanging over the backyard of the house below.

The driver, a man in his late 50s was drunk as a skunk. When I asked him if he knew where he was, he stated the last thing he recalled was that he was on the 91 fwy e/b at Harbor Blvd. (off ramp to Disneyland in O.C.). We were in Diamond Bar, in L.A. County, about 30 miles away. He didn't recall driving to his present loc.

We had to practically carry him to our car. He was unable to do the FSTs due to his drunken state. When one of our assisting units was going thru his car prior to its being towed, he found a AR15 in the trunk. (this was in the 80s, when it was legal). I asked him if it was his and why was he carrying it.

He said it was his and stated that he was in the real estate business and people owed him money!!!

My partner and I just looked at each other as if we were relieved we were not one of those owing him money
