Chat Icon Wow! That totally pisses me off that the first cop just let him go. Jake is a hero if you ask me! God forbid this guy went off & hurt or even killed somebody last night.

even if he had a gun- he couldn't drive straight or speak- let alone shoot someone




It takes less then 1 second to shoot a gun and if a person points it in some sought of direction your in... there is a good chance of something bad happening...

I still find it hard to say the first cop let him go if he was "that" drunk... he must of had a good story to tell...

Re: DH just stopped a drunk driver

although i think your dh is a total NUT for doing what he did...i have to admire and commend him for it at the same time!!!! God Bless him, and I'm glad he wasn't hurt in the process! Chat Icon

what is your problem? what are you implying?

we found ourselves in a situation and we felt we had to act

I guess you would have just gone home and sat on the couch

my husband isn't like that- he isn't afraid of a drunk/drugged out driver

he was more afraid of him killing someone


and like I stated before- this guys brother is an EMT - so I am sure that's why they let him go-

they didn't even tell the owner of the jeep that was hit - we had to take the second cop back there and he filed a report

if that was my car- I would be ******- I have to park on the street to- 99% of the people in this area do

Re: DH just stopped a drunk driver

Beth - as i stated in my previous post - i commend your dh for getting that POS off the street - however, I have to say, i don't think this was the smartest way to go about it (i must've missed this part the first time i read your OP):

Posted by Beth1210

you run home, get your wife and your car- you go out looking for the guy- his car was barely movable- you find him





not only did he put himself in harms way, he put you in harms way - God forbid something would have happened with that lunatic? what if in a split second, that dd would have harmed you in some way? i don't think your dh would have ever been able to forgive himself (just as he couldn't if that dd would have hit and/or killed someone) Again - i think what your dh did was great (getting one more dd off the street) - i'm just glad that neither one of you were hurt in the process.

Re: DH just stopped a drunk driver

Like I said before Jake's intention was only to get the plate number for the jeep owner- so they would know what happened to there car

not to stop him

we tried to get the cop that should have been in the annex station- but he wasn't there


our plan was not to stop the guy

we were following him for the cops on the phone with 911 - so they would know where he was

then he passed out and almost hit 5 cars- he only woke up b/c Jake beeped at him- then we stopped him

he was about to get on the highway

it's not like we drive around looking for drunk drivers

Glad everyone is okay Chat Icon
