Early on the morning of Sunday, August 7, the party sang its last verse for a 32-year-old in Tampa, Florida.
The man was arrested by the police after driving drunk and crashing into the back of a car on the country road.
The local newspaper writes Tampa Bay Times.
Short-lived pleasure
The police carried out a check on the man where, among other things, he tested positive on a blood alcohol test.
The blood alcohol test left little doubt about the man’s condition and thus he was right in the cell in the Pinellas County Jail. The bail was set at 500 dollars, which corresponds to around 5,000 Norwegian kroner.
Already later in the day, the man paid the bail out of his own pocket and was thus free again.
But the joy was to be short-lived.
Got a 200,000 fine for drunk driving
Quick out, quick back in
Shortly after his release, according to the Tampa Bay Times, the man allegedly tried to break into three different cars parked just outside.
The 32-year-old’s explanation to the police officers who arrested him was that he had left the keys inside the car.
There was just one problem: all the cars turned out to belong to police officers who were out on a mission.
