A councilman from Hendricks County, Indiana got a little sleepy after boozing it up, and decided to take a nap in his car. The problem was that he was driving his car before he decided to sleep it off. And as we all know, it is ILLEGAL to drive while intoxicated.
The story can be found here, here, and here.
Police happened upon the councilman’s car and found him asleep behind the wheel at a railroad crossing. Apparently he dozed off while stopping for a passing train. Police found it odd that someone would use their car and the road for their bedtime, so they roused him and found his blood alcohol level to be 0.13. The councilman was arrested and thrown in the Hendricks County Jail overnight until he made $1,500 bond in the morning.
I do not know the councilman’s body weight. But assuming he is around 220 pounds, he would have had to consume 7 to 8 drinks in one hour to get that drunk. Well at least he was drunk on his own time, right? Getting drunk and driving has no bearing on one’s judgment, right? What he does in his personal life, no matter how stupid or dangerous is of no concern to the people who elected him, right? Hmmmm
