Big Mess In Hartford

Maybe the Pub/GM called in a favor to get her released?

Correct me if I'm wrong (I could have outdated info), but I think it depends on the magistrate (sp.). If he or she is in a good mood, they'll release you. If not, you're in there until probably 10 a.m. the next morning.

I can't imagine any judge would be happy about coming in for a DUI at 1 a.m., though, so yeah, maybe the pub pulled a favor or some crazy shirt like that.

Giving her directions, huh?

Reminds me of when I was a pledge in my fraternity way back when. Our pledge class was tasked to do about 100 things one night all around the DC-VA-MD area. One was to get a picture taken with a hooker in DC.

So I'm asking one lovely lady if she minded taking a picture with us when a cop decides to check in. I tell him I was simply asking directions. He was not amused.

Did she finish high school before she took the job?

Don't a lot of states, or all of them, have a mandatory 8-hour lockup for DUI offenses?

I was thinking if you get arrested then you're held for at least that long.
 
It may be a minor consideration compared to the absolute stupidity and inexcusability of driving under the influence twice in three hours, and yet...

These people are the ones who not only are still working in this business, but are running it, in good jobs, while many, many others of us are...not.

Yeah, this really, really bugs me.
