(AP) CARLISLE, Pa. A Carlisle man is fighting a D-U-I charge. Nothing unusual about that, except that he was in the passenger’s seat of the car.

It happened in Carlisle on December 26th.

A state trooper says Derek Pittman had reached over and was steering the car while his friend, the driver, was taking a bite of a sandwich that he was holding in both hands.

The trooper says the car was weaving on the road, so he gave Pittman a field sobriety test and he failed, with a blood alcohol content nearly three times the legal limit for driving in Pennsylvania.

Pittman’s attorney says the driver did not undergo a sobriety test and besides, the driver never took his hand off the steering wheel, so the charge should be thrown out.

A hearing is scheduled August 22nd in Cumberland County Court.

haha.

And how did the trooper view all of this happening in the car? You would think the sober driver would have noticed a trooper behind him and would have taken the wheel. Damn 5-0!!! I'm still waiting for someone on a bicycle to get a DUI. If they can get a passenger of a vehicle, im sure the possiblities are endless!
