DRUNK MAN APPLIES FOR JOB WITH POLICE, THEN GETS ARRESTED FOR DRUNK DRIVING
Here is the full story...
"A man who stopped by Washington State Patrol headquarters to ask about a job didn't get what he wanted — but he did find out how a hand-held alcohol tester works.
Robert Gulley, an unemployed radio technician, was ticketed for alleged drunken driving as he drove away from the patrol office in this city near Vancouver. He had asked for a job application.
"I guess it was a bad time to go there," Gulley, 25, of nearby Sifton, told The Columbian newspaper. "It was a bad judgment call.""
"A bad time to go there"? Yeah I would imagine being drunk would be a bad time to go to any job interview, let alone a job interview at the police department.
When she told him it wasn't a good idea to apply to be a trooper while intoxicated, Gulley denied drinking, another trooper said.
Isn't this typical of a drunk? I never understood why when people drink they deny how drunk they are or whether or not they had drank at all.
But after leaving the office and pacing back and forth on a nearby side street for 10 minutes, Gulley got into his car and drove away, troopers said.
He was promptly pulled over and ticketed. Gulley was given two more alcohol-breath tests, which both gave readings of slightly over 0.08, Trooper Garvin March said.
Ha ha. I don't know what to say to that.
I actually still want to join the police department," Gulley said. "Those guys are doing their job keeping the roads safe."
They sure are, way to test the system. Keep the roads safe? Yeah, keep the roads safe from idiots like you. You sure made their job a hell of a lot easier by driving to the station.
"I guarantee he's not going to get a job with us," March said. "We've arrested drunks in unexpected ways and places before, but this one just blew me away."
The police won't hire a man who shows up drunk for an interview? Isn't this some sort of discrimination? What kind of country is this where you can't have a few drinks to loosen up before a job interview?
