The Drunken Truth: AA Don’t Have Nothing on Them
New York man with anti-DWI device in own car, crashes rental
Talk about not knowing what’s good for you, a New York man who had an anti-DWI device installed in his car due to a drunken driving conviction, rents a car and crashes it. You want to know why he crashed it? He was intoxicated. You have to give the guy an “A” for his conviction; get it, conviction?
A police representative from Suffolk County said that 27-year-old Marvin Rice Jr., a convicted drunk driver, lost control of the rental car and hit a utility pole in Brentwood on the morning of 15 Feb 2009. I guess he had a bad Valentine’s Day.
Marvin had agreed to have the device installed in his vehicle after a previous DWI conviction. The device tests for alcohol in a driver’s breath before starting the car.
Mr. Rice is being treated for multiple injuries and is scheduled to be arraigned for DWI charges.
Allegedly intoxicated couple ask police to be designated driver
“I did what?” I’m sure this is the question that Michael Bell of Texas City and an unknown woman must have asked themselves when they woke up the next morning after a long night of alleged illegal substance use. The allegedly intoxicated couple, in their divine wisdom went to a police station in search of their designated driver; where the unnamed woman collapses in the lobby.
This draws the attention of the police, who later search Michael and arrest him after finding marijuana in his sock.
The woman, who received medical attention, recovered and will be cited for public intoxication.
Michael Carl Bell of Texas City was jailed on a marijuana possession charge. His bond was said to be $2,592.
