Bottoms up, Occifer!

Driver Toasts Police Officers With Beer

DECATUR, Ala. (AP) - Some people don't know when to quit.

Take the case of a Russellville man who found trapped in a partially submerged vehicle early Sunday in a creek.

Decatur Police officers spotted the sport utility vehicle and found the driver unharmed, but apparently celebrating.

Well, who can blame him--he just survived being attacked by an evil SUV!

Police said 21-year-old Jorge Taverez raised a can of beer and appeared to toast the officers.

Police said while they waited for firefighters, Taverez drank a few more beers and even turned up the music before water got into his vehicle's electrical system.

What a shocking development! Simply revolting. Okay, sorry--ohm through making puns now. My resistance was just low, that's all.

The vehicle was pulled and Taverez was charged with DUI and other offenses, including littering.

Apparently, being an idiot is not a crime in and of itself.

SO, here's to YOU, Mr. Drunken SUV Driver Who Toasts His Arresting Officers!
