Valley Cottage man charged with DWI; Not charged for blatant stupidity
A Valley Cottage man was arrested for DWI on Thursday afternoon, after he ignored a police officer’s request to leave his car in a parking lot and take a taxi instead. The officer assisted Burke into a taxi and left the scene, but it wasn’t long before the taxi driver called the police to let them know Burke was trying to go back to his car. Police arrived then and discovered Burke leaving the parking lot in his car, when he was stopped, arrested, and charged with DWI.
The Urinal News doesn’t explain how police initially discovered he was drunk when he wasn’t already driving, before they advised him to take a taxi instead. Perhaps they should have had him take the town’s police “taxi” instead.
