Arrested for DUI while wearing a beer helmet

4 views 3 answers
Last week I was going for a sunday drive wearing my brand new beer helmet. If you havn’t seen a beer helmet, it’s a baseball helmet with two beer cans on the sides and two straws that go into your mouth. I thought it would be perfect for driving since its hands free, you know…like a cell phone? Anyway, a cop pulled up next to me at a red light so I gave him a friendly thumbs up, but instead of saying hello back he pulled me over and started acusing me of being drunk. But I wasn’t drunk ….. the only thing I had had to drink was the two beers on my head, and they weren’t even finished! So then he makes me do gymnastics and touch myself on the side of the road WITH my beer helmet on. Huh?!!!! Of course I can’t keep my balance wearing that thing and I sure as hell can’t say the alfabet backwards even when I’m sober (seriously, who can?). But no, that didn’t matter… He just kept lauging to his self and telling me to JUMP this, TOUCH that…and with the way he was enjoying his self I think he was some kinda sex pervert. So then when I got into the station they made me wear the beer helmet in mug shots. Now was that really necissary? Are those pictures gonna wind up on the internet or something and embarass my wife? This is total BS. I wasn’t drunk and I’m not gonna stand for being the butt of police jokes. Any lawyers out there MAN ENOUGH (or woman enough… I guess) to stand up for justice? -Otis “Give me Liberty or give me death”.

Otis, not a good idea to drink and drive and allow everyone to see it at the same time. Now, having said that, it is not technically illegal to drink and then drive. You just cant drink AND drive. You probably received an open container violation. If you were truly not impaired, there are ways to help. I am in Jacksonville and can help. www.lockettlaw.net.

Having watched a few episodes of Cops, I might have believed this was a genuine letter. But signing it as Otis is a dead giveaway. Sorry, but this one looks like a phony.

Otis, your story has a fatal flaw. Anyone that has any proper experience with a beer helmet knows your story is false. You said "it's a baseball helmet with two beer cans on the sides and two straws that go into your mouth." Baseball helmets have two straws coming out from the cans, but they combine to a single straw when they go into your mouth.
