Sir, you really do have the right to remain silent
An alleged drunk driver in North Kingstown had a difficult time keeping quiet after officers caught up to him along Post Road.
The police first became aware of the 22-year-old East Greenwich resident when the car he was driving nearly collided with a group of them who were on the side of Post Road. After he was pulled over, he started talking. First, he allegedly said he’d “had about four beers.” After failing a field sobriety test, he allegedly asked: “Am I really that drunk?” When officers asked again how much he had had to drink he allegedly said, “I actually had eight beers.” He later apologized for the near-collision but added: “I drive drunk all the time. I consider myself a safe drunk driver. I didn’t actually hit you so what’s the big deal?” He later went on to explain that some people can drink and drive and that he is one of those people, adding: “I can drive better than a woman when I’ve been drinking.” He later apologized for his comments. “I really didn’t mean it, I’m just drunk.”Excerpt republished with permission from South Kingston Patch.com.
