Anacortes, Skagit County DUI driver offers Cop $500 to let him go

This article is from the Anacortes American, January 27, 2010
A 25-year-old Anacortes man allegedly offered an officer $500 to let him go after nearly hitting workers who were moving large pieces of refinery equipment on Highway 20 around 1:08 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 17.


The man allegedly ignored road closed signs and barricades, several traffic control vehicles and an officer who waved at him to stop. Witnesses said the car came dangerously close to workers who were walking alongside the equipment.

The vehicle sped around backed-up traffic after almost colliding with another vehicle before an officer was able to stop the car on the highway. The driver smelled of alcohol and said he was unaware of any traffic backup or equipment blocking most of the road.

The man had slurred speech, was unsteady on his feet and had his pants unzipped. He denied drinking. He failed field sobriety tests and was arrested on charges of DUI.

He allegedly offered a police officer $500 to let him go. He provided breath samples that were about two and a half times the legal limit. He was cited for DUI and reckless driving and released to a sober relative.
