Cop Locked in K9 cage drunk

BLOUNTVILLE, TN -- A Tennessee sheriff's deputy arrested on a drunken driving charge wound up in a dog house before he was taken to the big house.

The Kingsport Times-News reported the details of a Tennessee Highway Patrol arrest report, which said 47-year-old Samuel Monroe Bledsoe was kicking the windows of a trooper's cruiser on his way to a hospital for a blood test.

The report says Bledsoe was then locked inside the cruiser's K-9 cage for his safety.

Trooper David Osborne said in the report that Bledsoe performed poorly during a field sobriety test -- even after it was explained to Bledsoe 18 times.

The Sullivan County Sheriff's Office later fired Bledsoe. Bledsoe was free Wednesday on $1,500 bond. A message left at a phone number listed for Bledsoe was not immediately returned.

I have had this story ready to go all day, but I've been delaying it until now trying to find out if this man had any relation to Drew Bledsoe. Unfortunately I came back empty handed. If it isn't cops being arrested for giving fake tickets today its cops being arrested for being drunk. Now I don't care how drunk I am, there is no physical way a cop is putting me in a dog cage before driving me to the station. I would rather be tazed 200 times then ride in that thing. That cop who arrested him has one hell of a story at the next card night, that's for sure.

P.S. the people in that picture need to get lives. I just ate a mcchicken

Fla. trooper accused of writing bogus tickets

MIAMI - A Florida Highway Patrol trooper based in South Florida has been arrested on charges of official misconduct, after authorities said he wrote hundreds of fake citations to drivers. Paul C. Lawrence was accused of trying to increase the number of citations he issued by writing bogus tickets. More than 200 traffic tickets he issued since November have been dismissed, and there may be more.

Authorities grew suspicious when the ticketed motorists began complaining they knew nothing about the citations. Prosecutors said Lawrence had used information from drivers he previously stopped to draft new tickets.

A spokesman for the FHP said they don't operate on a quota system.

Let me be the first to call B.S. on Floriday Highway Police Department. They don't operate on a quota?! My ASS they don't operate on a quota. Theres no way this cop is that much of a douche he gave people tickets for fun and games. He wanted to keep his job. Everyone knows drive like your a nun at the end of months because cops need to reach their quota. But I still always like when cops get arrested by cops
