    I'm glad they caught this guy. Time after time I see police officers driving up and down the interstate well in excess of the speed limit without their lights on. I understand sometimes they have to run 'dark' but I doubt there are that many circumstances where they need to do so. Most are officers from other counties going to the justice training center and are probably just running late. No excuse for breaking the law though. The nerve of this guy to come into our town and drive drunk, in a cruiser no less.
