Walking under the influence
I can thank Nobody’s Business for bringing this to my attention:
From the Patriot-News:
Drinking and driving is not the only way to get in trouble at a sobriety checkpoint. Two pedestrians found that out when state police set up a checkpoint late night Saturday into early morning Sunday along state Route 34 in New Bloomfield.
In addition to two motorists who were cited for driving under the influence and related traffic offenses, police said, troopers also cited two pedestrians for public drunkenness after they were observed to be intoxicated as they walked through the checkpoint area.
The story is a few days old at this point, but if posting it helps keep one of my readers out of jail (whether in Pennsylvania or elsewhere), I’m happy to do the favor.
