Alan was hammered. So much so that he drove his jeep liberty over the curb in front of his house and got stuck in his own front yard. Someone saw him driving like a drunk and called the Martin County Sheriff. Alan claimed that his jeep was tucked in the bushes because it had been raining.
The problem is that his explanation made as much sense as parking in a tree because it's a sunny day and it had not been raining. The Sheriff gave Alan a break. He was home and told the officers that he was going to stay home. The problem is that he didn't. He got back in the car, got it unstuck, and drove.
The Sheriffs caught up with Alan a second time at 2:15 in the morning. This time they took him to jail. Where he spent the night and had to post a $1000 bond. $500 for the DUI and another $500 for obstruction. The $1000 is just the beginning. The average cost of a DUI in Florida is $8000.
Here are the details of the arrest from the Martin County, Florida Sheriff:

This story is actually not that unusual. I have an alcoholic living next door who regularly parks his car half in the street and up on the curb.
The police have spoken to him several times but so far they have not caught him actually driving.
