I ran across an interesting story on the AP newswire out of St. Petersburg, Florida. A bar employee called the police when she heard an intoxicated customer talk about driving home. A police officer arrived at the scene and intercepted the drunk patron, calling him a cab and sending him on his way.

A few minutes later, the officer saw the cab return with the drunk patron, who got out then started to drive his truck home. The cop then arrested the driver and cited him for DUI.

The article did not discuss what happened when the driver was arraigned. Obviously, he will have a difficult time explaining his actions – hopefully he will have a creative lawyer.
