Did you read the article?

"...who now faces public intoxication charges."

Public intoxication is not a DUI.

Yes, I read the article. I was using literary license... just trying to be funny about this unusual story. I guess I should have said "RWI" (Riding While Intoxicated).
Thanks for reading and commenting.
