How's this for ignorant! A local radio anchor is pulled over and arrested for driving under the influence of AMBIEN!!
Huh?
His explanation is that since he had to be back at the station for an early morning shift the next day, he took his sleeping pill before he left work.
That's right: BEFORE HE DROVE HIS CAR HOME from Southwest Portland to Gresham!
That's not just bad judgment or reckless but borders on criminal. Fortunately, nowadays alert citizens are not afraid to report those who are weaving in traffic which is exactly what many did in this case leading to his arrest.
Many medications, especially sleeping pills specifically state: Do Not Operate a Motor Vehicle or Other Heavy Equipment when using this drug.
What part of Do Not Operate a Car did this DJ not get?
So, let's review: Not only do we have to watch out for drunks on the road and be careful not to be involved in a accident with an uninsured motorist--which we are surrounded by--nowadays it is necessary to be wary of ignorant drivers who insist they do not have to follow the instructions of the medications they take.
Nice!
