Really odd drunk driving news – Clothing Edition.
Florida DUI for news anchor with pants down – Russell Rhodes, the Fox News anchor in Tampa, was spotted at a parking garage token machine trying to back his 2006 BMW 325i into exiting traffic. When an off-duty deputy checked into the situation, Rhodes tried to run away but he didn’t get very far because his belt was unbuckled and his pants were open. Rhodes refused to give the officer his car keys so the vehicle could be moved. He was eventually handcuffed and arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence in Florida and obstructing an officer.
Indiana DUI for shoeless suspect – When a Muncie, Indiana patrol officer tried to pull over a motorist for running a stop sign, the suspect drove off and briefly lost the pursuing police. The officer found the vehicle with the motor still running and two open beer bottles inside. While following footprints in the snow, he also found a pair of black tennis shoes. The patrolman entered a nearby bar and asked whether anyone had just run into the place, which initially received a response of denials and then laughter. The officer found Gordon M. Garrett, 24, hiding in the bathroom with only socks on his feet. Garrett was charged with drunk driving in Indiana, criminal recklessness, reckless driving, public intoxication and resisting law enforcement.
California DUI for shirtless woman – Police investigating a single vehicle accident found Deborah Marie Costilla shirtless, pouring water over her head. Costilla, 45, was given a shirt and then checked for injuries. She was later booked on charges of drunk driving in California for having a blood alcohol content more than three times the legal limit.
Police taser naked man during California DUI arrest – Santa Ana Police pulled over a van suspected of hitting another vehicle. Because the suspected drunk driver, still in his van, was fumbling around in the front seat and refused to put his hands in the air, they used a taser to stun the man’s neck and head. The suspect was then found to be completely naked. The unidentified man was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence in California and tested for alcohol and drugs.
