Weaving through traffic and bumping into other drivers can get anyone a DUI, but how about when that's the object?

David Warner got himself arrested for driving drunk in a demolition derby, which he won. The 36-year-old Kentuckian was competing in the Jessamine County Fair's derby, when cops got several complaints about his driving. Nicholasville police detained him and determined he was drunk.

Police waited until he event was over to check him, and said he was “staggering,” and having trouble standing up. So they gave him a sobriety test and arrested him for DUI.

"The young man has no future here as far as events," said County Fair President Jay Bruner. "He will not be allowed to participate in any event on these fairgrounds.”

Warner told NEWSFIRST he was plenty sober, at least sober enough for a demolition derby. He did admit having a "a few beers "to loosen me up."

“I mean, I’m not denying I wasn’t drinking by no means, but I was not drunk. I was under the limit,” Warner said. “I’m not perfect, but this has gone too far, and I will fight it,” he said.

i've seen drivers stopped in this country when banger racing,yes crashing is the aim of the sport but you still need a straight judgement and quick wits something that won't happen when drunk

what right do the cops have to arrest him? he wasnt driving on a public road was he?


for the life of me I cant understand how one can complain about another's driving in a frickin demolition derby!!!!


"you drove like an asshole"

yeah, so?

"you weaved in and out"

yep, that happens in demolition derby

:facepalm:

[golfer]

maybe as he was swerving someone saw an open container... Or maybe he was too good and they had to figure a way to get him kicked out of the derby to let someone else win...

ok i'm thinking that your guys DD track is set up in a similar way to the ones over here which i've raced on ,so you have a track and away from that a pit area,now when i left the track i had to drive through areas where the public were able to walk about and see all the work being done to cars ,children would also be in this area as these are family days would you want a drunk driver in this area with that risk?

maybe the police got him then before he put his car back on the trailer and drove off home on public roads


as someone who has raced in this sport didn't know if anyone else has tried it on this site ? i'm glad to see reports like this the sport is dangerous as it is it doesn't need more danger thrown into it by idiots like him

I can see the point...

but,

I still think its bullshit him getting charged with a DUI. If anything, the officials could suspend him or outright ban him from further competition. I'm just still not seeing where the police even have any grounds on which to charge him. If I own 100 acres of land and want to get piss drunk and drive my jeep all over the place, they cant say a goddam thing.

[redred]

but he didn't own this land, so surely if the police received several complaints from the public then they would have to act ?

would the police over there do anything if say your replaced the DD track with a supermarket car park ? i know they would over this side of the pond

"several complaints from the public" - it sounds to me like somebody got on the walkie talkie from behind the wheel lamenting the bold moves paying off for the other competitor :lol: if rumors were there prior, its a way to fcuk an opponent...
