When it came time to feature an honorable mention BACS contestant, we had a couple of local participants to consider. The first was former LSU placekicker Colt David, who holds the school’s all-time scoring record.
Now the 23-year-old has a different type of record. He was arrested by Baton Rouge police last month on suspicion of drunk driving and was booked into Parish Prison on counts of 1st-offense DWI, reckless operation of a vehicle, and noise violation.
He may have been named 1st-team All-SEC and helped LSU win a national championship in his junior year, but David’s attempt fell well short of the Judge Don Johnson Trophy. It takes a lot more than a loud sound system to make some noise in the BACS.
Our other local contender must be a fan of Michael Vick. That’s because he allegedly crashed into a police cruiser with a K-9 officer inside.
Police say 49-year-old Leper Lewis was driving his 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo east in the westbound lane on Evangeline Street last month when he rounded a curve and struck the police vehicle head-on, knocking it off the road. Lewis was booked into Parish Prison on 2nd-offense DWI, reckless operation of a vehicle, failure to maintain control of a vehicle, driving on the wrong side of the road, expired driver’s license, and no insurance.
On a side note, Lewis is a resident of Baton Rouge. We mention that because, with a name like Leper, we initially assumed he was from Carville.
However, when it comes to drunk driving, neither David nor Lewis could hold this next guy’s jock strap, especially since he wasn’t wearing a jock strap … or anything else, for that matter.
According to reports, Captain Mike Rolls of the Marion County Sheriff’s Office was on duty just after midnight on the morning of September 15 in Ocala, Florida, when he passed a man riding a silver 2006 Kawasaki motorcycle in his birthday suit. He wasn’t even wearing a helmet. Well, he might have been wearing a different kind of helmet, but we’re not sure if he’s circumcised.
After an understandable double take, Rolls followed the nude rider onto northbound I-75. The buck-naked biker then exited at the first opportunity and drove through an intersection on a red light. That was when Rolls decided to stop him.
A naked, unemployed, 45-year-old Dante J. Krauss, of Dunnellon, Florida, was reportedly standing next to his motorcycle when Rolls approached him. He told the deputy he had no recollection of where he was coming from, but said the last thing he remembered was going to Hooters.
When asked if he had had anything to drink, Krauss admitted to having a few drinks. As for his nudity, though, Krauss was reportedly befuddled as to how he got that way. We’re not sure what kind of operation they’re running at the Hooters in Ocala, but it sounds like we’d have a lot of fun finding out.
Krauss was given a shirt, courtesy of a nearby hotel, while his God-given kickstand and the rest of his lower body was covered with a shawl that had been on his motorcycle’s handlebars. We have no idea why he had a shawl on his handlebars, but at least his bike was wearing something.
He eventually failed a field sobriety test and reportedly registered a blood-alcohol content of 0.178 percent, more than twice the legal limit. That’s when police gave him something else to wear: handcuffs.
Krauss was ultimately released on $20,000 bail after being arrested and charged with his 5th DUI. In fact, records indicate that Krauss’ license was revoked for 10 years in 1991.
Despite his legal woes, Krauss’ nude biking escapade has apparently inspired other sleazy riders to form a clothing-optional biker gang. They reportedly call themselves “Hell’s Dangles.”
Our top ten contestants were arrested and booked for suspicion of driving while intoxicated according to The Advocate reports from August 24 – September 20, 2009.
10. Zenon O., 29, 1st-offense DWI, license plate required, failure to maintain control of a vehicle, driver’s license required, failure to register vehicle, insurance required, and reckless operation of a vehicle.
Zenon, Zenon likes his tequila. He drinks a lot, they say. Spends his days boozin’ in a garage by the motorway.
9. Christina Leigh H., 18, 1st-offense DWI, failure to maintain control of a vehicle, seatbelt violation, and liability for damage to a highway.
We’ve heard of someone tearing up the roads before, but damn! What the hell were you driving, Christina? A road grader?
8. James Taylor S., 21, 2nd-offense DWI and failure to signal/improper turn.
For James Taylor’s sake, we hope he’s got a friend who’s a good defense attorney. Otherwise, he’ll be a walking man or worse, a cellmate will call him “Sweet Baby James.”
7. Alisha Priscilla S., 34, 1st-offense DWI, battery of a police officer, resisting an officer, license plate light required, and driver’s license suspended/revoked.
It looks like Serena Williams isn’t the only female athlete who can threaten an official with bodily harm.
6. Dina V., 46, 1st-offense DWI, possession of drug paraphernalia, improper lane usage, possession of alcoholic beverage in a vehicle, possession of Schedule IV drugs, and reckless operation of a vehicle.
According to Dina’s ex-boyfriends, the numerous possession charges make sense. They all said they broke up with her because she was too possessive.
5. David Scott A., 24, 3rd-offense DWI and improper backing.
Hopefully, David Scott will learn to back up properly while in jail.
4. Robert H., 24, 3rd-offense DWI, reckless operation of a vehicle, seatbelt violation, and driver’s license suspended/revoked.
Robert failed his sobriety test when he told his arresting officer that he’d bang Anne Coulter.
3. Linda W., 47, 4th-offense DWI and failure to maintain control of a vehicle.
Linda likes to think of herself as a cougar when she goes out drinking. However, most bar patrons see this Denham Springs resident more like a hyena, scavenging on the cougars’ leftovers.
2. Austin Ray F., 28, 4th-offense DWI, hit-and-run, disobeying a red light, reckless operation of a vehicle, driver’s license suspended/revoked, and insurance required.
The city of Austin, Texas, has lots of breweries. And just like the Lone Star State’s capital, Austin Ray typically has copious amounts of alcohol being processed in him.
1. Michael S., 45, 5th-offense DWI, driving too slow, improper lane usage, and resisting an officer.
Michael wasn’t driving too slowly, officer. He was just taking a victory lap.
