I curse you, officer, curse you!

In the predawn hours of a chilly Sunday morning, Englewood police were called to a neighborhood on a report of a suspicious vehicle. The car had been parked for several hours with the driver asleep behind the wheel.

It took the officers several attempts to awake the sleeping gentleman. One officer noted the gentleman’s chest was covered in crumbs from a McDonalds meal. Finally aroused, the gentleman told officers he had dropped off a friend, gotten sleepy and pulled over for a long winter’s nap. Asked where he was, the gentleman explained he was parked on a state highway — he was only off by five or six miles — after moving furniture to his new residence in Lewisburg.

When asked for clarification, the gentleman could not respond. “He simply stared at me,” the officer wrote. The officer reported the gentleman smelled strongly of alcohol, his eyes watery and bloodshot, his speech slurred and his subsequent responses “incoherent”. He was arrested and cited for having physical control of a vehicle while intoxicated.

The gentleman declined to take a breath test, espousing the belief that it was rigged. (Given the officer’s description of the gentleman, the gentleman might be considered half-a-bubble off true.)

En route the county lockup, the gentleman further endeared himself to officers, telling one he had but one year left to live. Asked to clarify his statement, the gentleman informed the officer he had put a curse on the officer that would end his life within a year.

It did not appear from the report that the officer was overly concerned.
