Made a citizens arrest tonight!

[audry80]

Driving home tonight, we drove up to a car stopped in the middle of the road. We went around it and noticed the driver was hunched over. We pulled over and the guy remained passed out so we called 911. The guy woke up and was completely wasted. My H opened up the passenger door and put the car in park while our friend took his keys. While she was taking his key, he started rubbing her head while waving to me. 

A cop cop pulled up but was called to an armed robbery so we had to wait about 10 minutes for another cop. During that time, the guy kept trying to drive away and was so confused why his car wouldn't drive. He then stumbled out of the car and my husband followed him. During that time, cops came and drove to my husband down the street and arrested the guy. He was trying to get in his house but couldn't since he didn't have his keys. Because the the cops didn't see the guy in the car, we had to file a citizens arrest. 

I am beyond pissed that someone would get behind the wheel so wasted. He could barely walk, let alone drive. Thank goodness he didn't kill anyone.

Ha, I have never heard of someone actually making one either! I'm glad you were able to stop him from driving anywhere else, though.

Wow, I didn't think citizens arrest really happened in real life. Good job preventing that idiot from being on the road.
