Now this is what I call DWI work

I've done my fair share of DWI cases while on patrol and I've gotten two in one shift, but this takes it.

Four suspected drunk drivers arrested at same location in Montgomery County

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Investigators said four drunken drivers were arrested at the same location in Montgomery County overnight, and one nearly struck a deputy at the scene.

According to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, deputies stopped a driver on the North Freeway near Oakwood because he was wanted in connection with assaulting his 15-year-old daughter. He was intoxicated when deputies pulled him over, officials said.

After the arrest, the deputy was about to get into his car when another driver approached the scene and slammed into the rear of the patrol car, almost hitting the deputy.

That driver also failed a field sobriety test and was taken into custody. But it didn't end there.

Two other drivers who tried to maneuver around the police barricade at the scene were also arrested for driving drunk. All four suspected drunk drivers were taken to jail.

Nice work Montgomery County Sheriff's Office. And thankfully no one was injured in this cluster of a scene.

  1. I'm glad that four potential killers were taken off the road. When these people are too drunk to drive, they put innocent people at risk each time they get behind the wheel. The odds of a police officer getting four of them off the road at the same stop is unheard of. I applaud the officer for being able to do his job well.

    1. I once double tapped DWI. I was driving a suspect to jail when I rolled up on another drunk, it was a very long night. Thankfully theses four were taken off the road before someone could get killed. Houston PD lost an officer 5 years ago named Kevin Will who was run over by a drunk driver (this was his forth time as I recall).
