Cool LaRussa charged with drunk driving

Quote:
JUPITER, Fla. -- St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa was arrested Thursday for suspicion of drunken driving after police said they found him asleep inside his running sport utility vehicle at a stop light.

The 62-year-old LaRussa gave two breath samples and was determined to have a blood alcohol content of 0.093 percent, Jupiter police said in a statement. Florida's legal driving limit is 0.08 percent.

Undercover officers first saw LaRussa's SUV partly in an intersection around midnight and not moving despite several green lights, police said. Officers knocked on the vehicle's window and LaRussa did not initially respond.

The SUV was in drive and running, with LaRussa's foot on the brake, police said. When he eventually woke up, the officers asked him to get out of the car.

He was arrested and booked in the Palm Beach County jail on the misdemeanor about 4 a.m., according to police and jail records.

Re: LaRussa charged with drunk driving

this is something i take real serious

if his foot slipped off the brake he's out in traffic

i dont know that the team should do anything as my job wouldnt as long as i can still do my work i imagine, but i think the penalty of law should be stiff

with something like this i always picture my kids being in harms way from such a driver and it gives me no sympathy for the driver

Re: LaRussa charged with drunk driving

'Course not but I doubt anything severe will be done with LaRussa. He'll likely have to pay a fine and serve community service. He should have his licensed suspended.

I may be wrong but I think in NYC if you're arrested on drunk driving the city can take your car away.
