My favorite Peta member was not asleep or under the influence, he was in a state of mourning after running over a cat.

I guess inventing the game of baseball doesn't get you out of a DUI? What was he thinking? "Allegedly"

JUPITER, Fla. -- St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa was arrested early Thursday and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, a misdemeanor, after he was found asleep at the wheel in his running SUV at a green light.

 

La Russa's SUV was stopped at a light that, according to police, went through two cycles of green. A driver behind La Russa had to go around his vehicle, police said.

 

Police found La Russa slumped over in the driver's seat of the running SUV. The manager of the world champion Cardinals had his foot on the brake and did not respond to knocks on the window, police said. He finally woke up and parked the car.

 

Police said they noticed the smell of alcohol on his breath, and a field sobriety test was conducted.

 

The 62-year-old LaRussa was sent to the Palm Beach County Jail around 4 a.m., according to the jail's Web site. La Russa provided breath samples, which measured at a .093 blood alcohol level, police said. The legal limit for drivers in Florida is 0.08.

That is pretty bizarre that he would be passed out and unresponsive and then only blow a 093.

 

I know that is over the limit, but I was expecting a higher bac level when reading the article.

 

I wonder what the spin will be? Cold medicine? Sleep apnea?

He's lucky he didn't roll through the light and get T-boned...

 

I'm sure he'll come up with something. Maybe he was trying out some stuff for Pujols...:sssh:

I wonder if they did a blood test for other substances in his system?

[threetimelover]

That's really unfortunate. He should thank God that his foot was on the brake and not the gas. I wonder if the responding officers thought he was dead? Slumped over at the wheel like that, it probably scared them to death when they saw who it was.

My cousin and I have always said that one day we're going to find out that 95% of all professional coaches are on speed or something. Those guys go non-stop all day and get like 4 hours of sleep. We were kind of joking but you really never know...

On Cold Pizza Steve Phillips just said players might be able to relate and build relationships off this. :lol:
