So, Joseph Carl rear-ended a lady stopped at a light while drunk, jumped out of his truck without putting it in park, banged on her window and yelled at her, and she, feeling scared, drove off, allowing his truck to proceed forward. Carl couldn't stop it.

The suspect told officers that he didn't drink and drive, so they asked him about the beers. He reportedly responded that "he was only drinking while he drove home."

That sounds kinda too dumb to be true.
Anyway, couldn't him have at least applied the parking brake?  |

When I relocated from St Pete to Lakeland 18 years ago, it was like moving backwards in time about 20 years.
If you see a Florida story you think is too dumb to be true, it probably happened right here in Polk County! If you've seen the movie Idiocracy, that's a pretty fair representation of central Florida.
