VIDEO: A drunk driver was taken off the road early this morning before he can harm any other motorists or pedestrians. Officer Kevin Martin was patrolling the Raintree area at about 12:30 AM when he noticed what appeared to a be a drunk driver crashing into a parked vehicle on Long Beach Road.
The officer reportedly boxed in the van with his patrol car, and took the intoxicated man out of from behind the wheel with the assistance of Officer Patrick Kearns.
The Hispanic man was transported to Kimball Medical Center.
It’s unknown at this time what the driver was charged with. TLS-CCP/TLS-MK.
Um…
How about charging him with drunk driving?
well its hard to charge someone with no papers, no identity, no license, and when we live in a country where the president does not want police to report when an ilegal alien is arrested
He may have been not feeling well.
just because they didn’t say he was aresseted dos’nt me he wasn’t. i’m sure they didn’t let him go they to him to the hospital first..dah,he hit another car you still think think they let him go?
How do you know he was illegal? Not every hispanic is.
Why shouldn’t he be charged ? – he did crash into someone’s car. If he has no papers, they should keep him locked up or deported to where he came from.
Even if he was drunk they can’t assume that. It could have been a medical issue that made him lose consciousness and hit a car. That’s why they took him to the hospital, to be sure
Maybe he was having a diabetic episode…. Where in the article does it say he is illegal? Perhaps if this was a jewish male and these condescending comments were made someone would be brought up on charges….
#2 you are clueless. If I went to another country illegally and without papers I can do anything and get away with it because they can’t charge illegals??? You think before striking the keys on your keyboard? I don’t think so
Good job LPD
Be careful how you drive buddy
