SWA Pilot on paid leave pending alcohol investigation

[satpak77]

Any new developments regarding the drunk SWA pilot @ CMH?

I think we should wish the guy well, no?

Who cares what "the latest is"

DUI carries with it a BAC requirement, which must be proven. Absent a proof of BAC, no DUI.

A drunk found sleeping in his car with keys in his possession will be given the standard sobriety tests just as they do with a drunk they catch driving the car.

100% correct if you are passing out in the car, toss the keys. Even then you may have an issue but will more then likely beat it in court.

Not beyond a reasonable doubt. The car could have been unlocked. Depends on what the law says and if the prosecuter wants to pursue it.

BAC still needs to be met for a DUI conviction.

You guys are killing me. Maybe someone else let him in the back seat, and who knows why he tossed the keys. This shows guilt of what?

Maybe he tossed the keys to keep himself from driving, and is about to with the MADD Reformed Drunk of the Year award.

I'm sure his peers are treating him like a hero.
