A textbook case of DWI – Dancing While Intoxicated!
Bad dancing draws suspicion, pot charges | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette
An 18-year-old Plymouth man whose bad dancing at a city festival attracted the attention of authorities was charged Monday with two drug-related misdemeanors, according to a criminal complaint.The man could face up to seven months in jail if convicted of marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.
According to the complaint:
A security officer at Hispanic Fest on Saturday night pointed out the man to patrolling Sheboygan police officers after observing strange dancing that led him to believe the man was drunk or high.
The man began to back away as officers approached him on the dance floor, and twice reached for his right pocket. Police — who noted the man smelled strongly of marijuana — searched him and found 2.6 grams of marijuana as well as a glass pipe and a marijuana cigar.
OK, first I gotta know: how badly do you have to be dancing to stand out at the Hispanic Fest in Sheboygan, Wisconsin? Hey, what’s that vato loco doing? Ese, that’s either the worst “cabbage patch” I’ve ever seen or the dude’s having a seizure!
But seriously, we’re talking about possibly locking up an 18-year-old for seven months for bad dancing. Oh, and a couple grams of weed. In a sane society, cops would have confiscated the weed and pipe, written the guy tickets for public intoxication and underage possession, and warned him to leave the premises or be arrested for trespassing.
That’s what we would have done for the drunk dancer, right?
