Police: Man Arrives at DUI Hearing Drunk
The Associated Press

YORK, Pa. - A man who arrived at court drunk for a drunken-driving hearing was again charged with driving under the influence, police said.

Paul H. Zeigler, 45, of Glen Rock, appeared at a preliminary hearing at the Shrewsbury district court on March 26 for a DUI charge from December.

Police said Zeigler appeared to be intoxicated at the hearing, according to police records.

After his court appearance, Zeigler failed a portable breath test for alcohol and was taken into custody for a blood test, police said.

The second test revealed that Zeigler's blood-alcohol level was twice the legal driving limit and he was charged with DUI, police said.

Showing up drunk for a DUI hearing is . . . well, dumb doesn't begin to cover it.

I don't support drunk driving (duh!) but . . . he submitted to a breath test after his court appearance?

One wonders if the local constabulary waited until he got back into his car before confronting him with the breathalyzer . . . and if not, one wonders why he submitted to a breath test. (There's no implied consent law for walking - only for driving.)

There is a story on Foxnews.com about a woman riding a horse being charged with DUI.  Was told several times to get off the horse, rammed a squad car with the horse and when finally got off or fell off the horse found to have meth, weed and a few other party favors.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Back in the day, I would get pretty messed up.

I can honestly say, never once did I EVER think of getting on a horse.

I had an Uncle who got tanked up and rode his horse into a bar.
That was way back when you didn't gt in a lot of trouble for such things and they only got really mad if the horse left road apples behind. cheesy
