I don’t even know what to say…

> NOVEMBER 8–Thanks to this past weekend’s daylight saving time switch, an Ohio man was arrested for two separate drunk driving incidents at the same time early Sunday morning, records show.
> 
> Niles Gammons, 22, was first pulled over by an Urbana cop when he was spotted driving an Oldsmobile the wrong way in an alley. Pictured at right, Gammons was pulled over at 1:08 AM by an officer who reported that he reeked of booze and had glassy eyes.
> 
> Sergeant Dave Reese noted that when he sought to have Gammons perform a Breathalyzer test, “I could hear that he had something in his mouth.” As it turned out, Gammons’s mouth was filled with pennies.
> 
> “I then advised Niles that pennies in the mouth were a myth and that it did not help in taking a breath test,” Reese noted.
> 
> After Gammons’s blood alcohol content was measured at .116, he was arrested for drunk driving. After being transported to the Urbana police headquarters, Gammons was issued citations and “released to an adult.”
> 
> Following Gammons’s departure, Reese wrote, “At 2:00 AM, the time changed from daylight savings time to standard time and 2:00 AM became 1:00 AM.”
> 
> At 1:08 AM–“exactly one hour after the first stop”–Reese was driving his patrol car in Urbana’s municipal parking lot when a vehicle “backed out of a spot rapidly and nearly collided with my cruiser.”
> 
> Reese quickly determined that Gammons was behind the wheel. “I asked Niles why he was driving, because he was under suspension and still intoxicated.” Gammons replied that “his friend that picked him up dropped him off and refused to take him home.”
> 
> Then, in a sterling example of intoxicated logic, Gammons explained that he “was afraid of getting arrested for public intoxication so he decided to drive,” according to the police report.
> 
> Gammons was again arrested for drunk driving and transported to the Urbana Police Division, where his blood alcohol content registered .109.
> 
> The separate tickets issued to Gammons both carry the same date and time–November 4 at 1:08 AM. He is set to appear–for both cases–in Champaign County Municipal Court on November 15. Each matter is scheduled for 3:30 PM. (3 pages)

In cases like this the police should just be allowed to execute people on the spot.

I’m not even mad, I’m impressed.

edit: especially at the speed with which he pulled this off. pulled over, breathalyzed, taken to the police station, processed, released, picked up, dropped off, pulled over again, all within 60 minutes.

It’s not legal to be drunk in a bar. The only place it’s legal to be drunk is in your own home.

Yeah I have my doubts too. In new York, you don’t take your breathalyzer test until 20 minutes after they start an observation period, which usually doesn’t start until you’re back at the station. Plus booking, paperwork, waitin for the tow to come pick up the car, etc. I’m going on record as not believing this. Then again, I don’t live in Ohio.

And, no, I didn’t click any links or research into it.
