Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Matt Rolloff's DUI - any lawyers around?

[Dan Warlick (edwf430]

Scottie,
I was once pulled over for speeding. The officer asked me of course if " I 
knew how fast I was going". Of course I replied....."No sir. After that 
bottle of Wild Turkey my vision is kind of blurry so I couldn't really read 
the speedometer"....to which he replied " A bottle of Whiskey? Do you have a 
drinking problem Son?" to which I said....."No Sir!!! I just am nervous with 
the dead body in the trunk so I needed a little help to relax"....After 
being removed from my car in a not so gentle manner and 10 minutes of 
waiting for his superior officer to show...I was once again interviewed, as 
it were, by the Sergeant who said to me....."Son, I hear you have been 
drinking quite a bit today" to which I replied........"No Sir!!! I don't 
drink. Would you like me to take a breathalyzer?".....So I did and blew 
ZERO.... He then said "What's this about a dead body in the trunk?".....to 
which I stated ....."Dead Body? You are kidding right?".........He followed 
up with...."Well, my deputy said you were drunk and had a dead body in the 
trunk of your vehicle!"...................So I simply said........"I guess 
he also says I was speeding too huh?".....................
