I was on the way home tonight around 9:00pm and there's a Honda Accord in front of me on HWY 61 going toward Carrollton. It swerves over into the slow lane almost side swiping another car. Figured it's just an idiot dialing their cell or something.
After following another 5 miles or so, and the Honda has ran off the road into the grass in the median about 4 times, I knew this idiot is drunk or something.
It turns down the same road that I take to go home....which happens to go right by a Carroll County Sherriffs precinct. Luckily there was 2 Deputies standing by their cars about to leave. I think I scared the crap out of them, because I turned into the parking lot really fast and rolled my window down to tell them.
They looked at me really suprised, and I pointed at the Honda, which had stopped to make a left turn about 25 yards past the precinct. I told them that the driver in that Honda must be drunk as hell. They looked over just in time to see the car make the left turn.
A split second later they were screeching out of the parking lot after it. I caught up to them about a mile down the road and they had just pulled the driver over into a corner gas station. So, I pulled in to see the outcome.
I pulled into a parking spot and watched in my rear-view mirror as they asked the driver to step out. One of the Deputies came over and asked me to fill out a statement of what I saw, which I did.
They started with the roadside test, then cuffs where quickly applied and into the back of the car the driver went. The Deputy came back over, and I said it looks like the driver must be drunk, huh?. He said it appears so...and I believe he said that the driver had failed part of the roadside test, then refused to do anything else and refused to take the breath test...so he would be charged.
He said I may have to go to court to give a statement if the driver doesn't plee or something to that effect. I told him that would be fine with me.
But anyway, when he was standing next to my car talking to me, I saw him look over and notice the obvious Glock grip, sticking up between the console and passenger seat. He never even blinked an eye or mentioned it and neither did I...so all's well that ends well.
