This friggin town was insane last night. Had a vehicle stop a little after midnight. Car full of teens, arrested driving for OUI, and summonsed all of the others for possession of alcohol by a minor. Took 6 30-packs from the car. The father was in bailing his son, and the other officer I was working with used a dolly to bring all the 30-packs in from my cruiser. (what a sight, wish i could have taken pictures for x-mas cards
)
While finishing up the booking, we got called to one of the motel / bars for someone reporting a large group of ppl kicking in his door. On arrival found one guy that just got promoted to Sgt. in the army. HE WAS TRASHED. We cleared from the call and I rode around in the BLIZZARD for a little while and then I observed a car come out of the same motel / bar we were just at and head out of town. I got behind the car, and he was literally inches from going in the ditch, he was driving right on the side of the ditch. I stopped him, and it was that Sgt. heading home. Arrested him for operating after suspension (had 9 convictions and 15 suspensions on his driving history) and arrested him for OUI, he blew a .21%. At first he wasnt really happy, but since we could have put high bail and brought him to county jail, but we didnt because of the weather he thanked us and hopefully he will make it through this.
And to wrap it all up, when i came into work at 1600, my brand new, personal, take home K-9 cruiser was there. Chief put a bow on it for me (what a guy, actually he was kissing ass cuz I got forced in to work last night). But it was a good night to break in the brand new car. It got to haul 6 30-packs and 2 drunks
And I have a feeling this town is gonna be this busy again tonite.
