Gawain 0 #1 April 14, 2004 Funny news clip: I'd Like to Be a Poleeshe Offisher Wednesday, April 14, 2004 A man walked drunkenly into a police station last Wednesday — and asked for a job. Robert Gulley was slurring his words, with glassy eyes and breath smelling of alcohol, Washington State Trooper Maureen Crandall told The Columbian newspaper. "I guess it was a bad time to go there," said Gulley, 25, of the incident. "It was a bad judgment call." Crandall told him Gulley probably wasn't in the best shape to apply to be a cop, but the unemployed radio technician insisted he hadn't been drinking. Another trooper challenged Gulley to prove it — and whipped out an alcohol breath tester. Gulley blew a 0.095, well above the state's legal limit of 0.08. He then insisted that he'd had only one drink — a Long Island Iced Tea, a potent mixture of vodka, rum, gin, tequila, triple sec, sour mix and cola. When Gulley was asked how he'd gotten to the Washington State Patrol headquarters in Orchards, a suburb of Portland, Ore., he replied that he'd been dropped off by a friend. But the troopers watched as he walked out of the building, paced back and forth on a side street for a while — then strolled into the state patrol's parking lot, got in his car and drove off. A state trooper did the same and pulled Gulley over. Just to make it official, he gave the addled would-be applicant two more breath tests, which came in at slightly over the limit. Gulley was arrested, given a ticket and released into the custody of his sister, who drove him home. "I actually still want to join the police department," Gulley said. "Those guys are doing their job keeping the roads safe." He'd better have a backup plan. "I guarantee he's not going to get a job with us," Trooper Gavin March told the newspaper. "We've arrested drunks in unexpected ways and places before, but this one just blew me away." I like the final summary of "I guarantee he won't get a job..." ... Jeez...So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Gawain 0 #3 April 14, 2004 This isn't too different from what a friend of mine did in Utah a number of years ago. He got drunk with this chick at a party he was having (no one showed apparently). Both smashed, he agrees to drive her home (she didn't want to leave). He drives her to her apartment, and she refuses to get out of the car. My buddy tries everything, to no avail. He then comes up with the "brilliant solution" of driving her to the police station, where he rolls up onto the curb and/or stairway landing to the Logan PD (I don't recall if he hit any cars), falls out of the car in front of half-a-dozen cops, demanding they arrest his passenger. *LOL* They arrested him (DUI-0.25%-and a couple other charges), impounded his car, and gave her a ride home. When he told me the story I laughed 'till I cried... God that's funny.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

livendive 8 #4 April 14, 2004 I had a drunk pull a knife on me at a party in a hotel room once. I took the knife away from him (a nice one at that) and sent him packing. I swear to god, he went down the the payphone and called the cops because he wanted the knife back. He told them the story, and was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon before they ever knocked on our door. While I kept the knife that night (it's my opinion that when someone pulls a weapon on me, I am entitled to keep it), I did end up turning it into them a few days later when they came by my work. Somehow they figured out that the guy had used it to knife someone about 18 hours before he pulled it on me and that person subsequently died. The idiot went away for some number of years. I don't know whether he'd have been caught if he hadn't been so stupid. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
