OH Judge: "Take me drunk, officer. I'm home."

Ohio Supreme Court Justice Alice Robie Resnick was arrested yesterday for drunk driving. Her BAC level was twice the legal limit. At 2 pm. I wonder how many shots of Jagermeister she had at lunch. Or maybe it was a tall glass of Kamchatka Vodka.



My favorite part of the story: After asking her to take part in an eye test, [the state trooper] says she refused and then, "rolled up her window and took off." Johnny Law caught up to her six miles down the road.

Full reports (with video and slideshow!) are available here and here.

Today's arrest of Resnick, the only Democrat on the bench, eclipses today's other big Ohio news - Mayor Coleman's announcement of his candidacy for governor. Coleman's response to the story: "Dammit, woman."

2pm? Wow. Not even a weekend. Well, it's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Damn straight I'm a badass.

Enjoy Mardi Gras. Let me know how Oz is. :) Is Phat Saturday gonna be at your crib this week? Man, I miss having that party. It shall be resurrected one day, my friend. Like a phoenix rising out of Arizona...

Mardi Gras party? Not fair :(
How many surviving members of the originial Phat Saturday need to be partying on Sat. to make it official?

Micah said...

I believe three is the magic number. The last one not hosted by the new generation had three originals: me, Dubin, and Kandace.

I used the Marriott bathroom on New Year's Eve a couple of years ago. So did about 1,500 other folks leaving Jackson Brewery.

Micah said...

I'd come down there in a heartbeat except that: a) I'm in the thick of bar studying and b) my finances are tied up in the market, T-bills, and bling.

I tried to get Dubin to come this weekend, to watch the Commercial Bowl, but he's moving. So no Phat Saturday.

KPMD - You're more than welcome to come over here and take your top off. You'd be closer to your judge friend, too.

As for Phat Saturday, I'm more than willing to throw 2006's party (assuming I'm not studying for my fourth bar exam then). I don't know how many people would venture to C-Bus for it, though. Or maybe I'll be back in DC or Richmond by then.

Was the all-crepe dinner at Petunia's not the best idea ever? You almost had me checking Expedia just now, 16:9.

spydrz said...

Crepes? What about the diner where they mash hamburgers on the grill with Oldsmobile hubcaps?

Riot? In Philly? The only things to steal in South Philly are all the abandoned cars.

Here we'll be cheering the commercials. No Michael Vick=lots of commercial watching.

Micah said...

spydrz - We hit the Clover Grill for a very intimate lunch last trip. Great burgers!

KPMD - Philly's probably a smarter choice for the party as it is a better location (for turnout, that is). Close to DC/Richmond. I get dibs on being the first one drunk (like usual)!

Micah said...

All this talk of Nawlins food must stop. And it is the Clover Grill that uses a hubcab in the grilling of its burgers. You may have been, uh, distracted by the gay cowboys outside the window to see the actual preparation of the food.

Man, that pecan pie....drooooool.

Micah said...

I do. I still have yet to make the animated .GIF of you and The Distinguished Gentleman "going...going...gay." Good times.

Micah said...

MotL - That's what you get when you give me 3 stories. The pay's not much, but the respect you'll get from your peers is off the charts!

spydrz said...

Animated GIF? Is it on Imagestation?

All your assets are tied up in bling? Send some ice my way, babe.

Seriously, people wonder how a person can function with a BAC level so high. Me? I got nabbed by the 5-0 when I was running a hefty .24. In KY the limit is .08, so needless to say I was thrown in the back of the squad car. Always wanted to wear handcuffs... but not -that- way.
