I Wonder What Marvin Thinks About This

First Hugs, now Justin Smith:

Smith, 25, was stopped because his truck was weaving. He told police he had five beers, the arrest report said, and he swayed while trying to walk during a field sobriety test. He had a blood alcohol level of 0.152, the report said, nearly double the state's legal limit.

Smith told authorities at the county jail that he was unemployed, Maj. Ed Copher said. Smith, who faces a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for the misdemeanor, was released on bond.

Typically, first-time offenders are put on probation and ordered to attend an alcohol education course. He was scheduled for arraignment next Tuesday in Kettering Municipal Court.

According to the police report, the deputy who pulled over Smith said that he smelled alcohol and that Smith had bloodshot eyes and a flushed face. Smith missed when he tried to touch his nose with his index finger during the sobriety test, the report said.

Justin must have thought his nose was a quarterback.
