Another DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener

Driver: 'Arrest me, I'm drunk'

DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener #138: Bryan Condo

How often do you hear about a drunk driver pulling over a police officer? Not often enough, to be certain. I almost hate to give Mr. Condo a DUMB@$$ AWARD, but let's face it- asking a police officer to arrest you really IS the hallmark of a DUMB@$$. No ifs, ands, or buts.

"He pulled up behind me, rolled down the passenger side window and said he was looking for a police officer to arrest him," Ian McCollin, chief of police in Vernon, Vermont, said in an interview on Wednesday. "When I asked him why, he replied 'I'm drunk."'

To make matters worse, the drunk driver was operating on a suspended license, which was taken away after a previous drunk driving charge, McCollin said.

Bryan Condo, 28, was driving on a quiet Vermont road at night when he asked McCollin to take him in. Since drivers rarely pull over police cruisers, a cautious McCollin called a colleague for backup with an amused "You won't believe this one."

"I was a little concerned but I also wanted him to hear the story too," he said. "I was afraid they'd think I was senile or losing my mind."

Police discovered Condo, a resident of North Pownal in Western Vermont, was four times over the legal limit and charged him with driving under the influence as well as driving without a license.

Condo was released hours after his arrest and will be arraigned on August 17. He could not be reached for comment.

"This guy was hilarious," McCollin said. "And he was very cooperative and polite, unlike your average drunk driver."

Great. A happy drunk AND a DUMB@$$. Someone buy this guy a beer, willya?
