Man Gets DUI After Falling Asleep In McDonald’s Drive-Thru Lane

Terrance Forte, 32, was arrested Saturday after Camden police found him asleep in his car in the drive-through lane.

Restaurant employees called police about 12:30 a.m. Saturday after waiting 15 minutes for Forte to drive from the first window to the second window in the drive-through.

In a police report, officer William Mahon said he found Forte asleep inside the car with the engine running and his right foot on the brake.

The report said that, as Mahon tried to wake Forte from his sleep, Forte offered Mahon $10 for his food order.

When Forte was asked for identification he could not find his wallet, which Mahon said Forte was holding in his hand.

After failing a field-sobriety test, Forte was arrested for the DUI and taken to the police station.

Forte’s blood alcohol level was registered at 0.19, or more than twice the legal limit. A person who has a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 percent or higher is considered intoxicated under Arkansas law.

Forte was cited for his third DUI offense and was later released.

JOKESTARTERS:

• Can you imagine the moment when the drunk guy wakes up, sees a cop at his window, then offers to pay for his cheeseburger? That is classic stuff…
• Man, you’ve gotta be pretty hammered to want McDonald’s drive-thru food, so the cops should let this guy off the hook.
• So the drunk guy tries to pay the cop, but claims he can’t find his wallet (which of course was in his hand the whole time). This makes me wonder: do we have 100% proof that John Belushi is really dead?
