Suspect thought car was arrested


A Panama City man was pulled over after police clocked him driving at a high rate of speed. When the man finally pulled over in a bank parking lot, cops smelled a strong odor of alcohol. The man had a 12 ounce can of Bud Light in his car.

The man admitted that he had "maybe six beers" and instead of handing over his driver's license, he gave the cop his credit card. So, the cop decided to do some field sobriety tests, and no big surprise, the guy failed them. He blew a .228 on the Breathalyzer (which in most states the legal limit is .08).

Police were going to have the man's car towed, but the man objected. The policeman wrote "(The suspect) advised me that the vehicle did not know what it was doing and he did not understand why it was being arrested."

Florida man arrested, drank wine as he rode electric store cart


Joseph, Leonardi of Florida went to his local Publix store. When he got there, he rode one of those electric motor carts (that are for people who need them), and drank blackberry wine while eating a chocolate candy bar. He put the wine bottle back on the shelf half empty.

An employee was watching him and asked if he drank the wine. Leonardi said "What are you going to do, call the cops?" Yep, that's exactly what the employee did.

Man gets $8.6 million for crashing into wild pigs


The State of California is to pay $8.6 million to a motorcyclist who was severely injured when he hit six wild boars on a state highway in 2003.The jury ruled that the state was responsible for Adam Rogers' injuries because officials knew that wild pigs regularly crossing a stretch of Highway 1 just south of the Carmel River were creating a dangerous situation, but they did nothing about it. Rogers, 45, suffered serious injuries and is now confined to a wheelchair. He and his wife sued the state Department of Transportation in Monterey County Superior Court.

Isn't the State already in a financial crisis? I mean aren't they seriously in the hole?

DOT attorneys unsuccessfully argued that the State can't control and is not responsible for the actions of wild animals. Who is? Besides, Rogers was drunk when the crash happened. But, as everyone knows, you can sue for anything in the U.S.

Arrested three times in a row for DUI


A 60 year old Washington state woman was arrested for driving drunk three times in three days! All of this was during her vacation to Wisconsin.

Her first arrest was March 11 when a cop saw her try to drive out of a ditch. She had on one shoe and her blood alcohol level (BAL) was 0.21. The legal limit is 0.08 which is a pretty common limit for most states.

She was arrested 24 hours later where she admitted she had about six cups of wine. She spent 12 hours in jail, was released, and busted again.

Now she's serving 30 days in jail. How much do you want to bet she'll be caught as soon as she gets out?
