Drunk Cop Crashes Truck Pulling DARE Trailer

Wonder why stuff doesn't make the big headlines like "other things"...




Drunk Cop Crashes Truck Pulling DARE Trailer

Drunk Cop Crashes Truck Pulling DARE Trailer
A 38-year-old cop in Indiana, John Newcomb, was arrested Wednesday night after he side-swiped a parked car with his truck and then plowed into a tree, apparently while he was drunk. A woman who heard the crash and saw the immediate aftermath gave some details of the scene to local news channel WAVE 3. The best part of this otherwise average drunk driving-cop story is the trailer Newcomb was pulling :

"It said DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) and Seymour Police Department- which made me think he was a police officer," said Mr. Robbins.

Not only a police officer, but according to the Seymour Police Department website, he is the School Resource Officer, responsible for seven schools, acting as a mentor and providing students with a role model. It even states that he conducts lectures on narcotics and alcohol and their effects on driving.

"He's not setting a good example for kids that see this," said Mr. Robbins.




Hmmmm who else are they duking with their hypocrosy??

Can you spell "unemployment" children? I knew that you could.

A true master of understatement!
