First Drunks Of The Week!

So today is the first day of the week in Glens Falls on the social calendar, as I explained last week. And I have to give honorable mention to a couple people.

First drunk drivers of the week:
There were two drunk drivers stopped and charged at about the same time. The first honorable mention goes to Angela M. Lowery, 26, of 18.5 Wall Street, Hudson Falls. 18.5? That's an odd house number isn't it? She drove into a few snowbanks on Elm Street, with a whopping blood-alcohol content of 0.17 percent, nearly double the 0.08 percent threshold for driving while intoxicated, the article said. Excuse me, but .17 is more than double.

She also was charged with driving without a license and giving the cops a phony name, as if that would do any good, and failure to keep right. Cops said she was carrying $1,300 bucks when she was arrested, and was easily able to post the $500 bail. Did the judge know she was carrying 1300 dollars? If he did why didn't he set the bail at 1300 dollars, that's how small town judges operate isn't it?

But congratulations Angela, great job, keep up the good work!

Next up we have Michael L. Kelly, 25, of 48 Hidden Hills Drive, Queensbury, who forgot to use his little old blinker light when turning at the intersection of Broad and Staple streets. Damn! And he almost got away! With a BAC of 0.15 percent, he was charged with misdemeanor DWI and ticketed for failing to use a signal, and was released pending prosecution. Man that failure to use a turn signal charge has got to hurt.

Keep up the good work Michael!
