BRILLIANT

A New York state woman whose car crashed through the front door of a house, nearly hitting a woman watching TV, was trying to distract police, police said....

Sarnowski started driving at the high speed to distract the town officer who had pulled over a friend of hers for possible drunken driving, police said.

Something tells me that if she knew he was drunk, she might have been with him and was in similar condition.

It's hard to see where this clever plan went wrong.

Brilliant strategy, for sure. Just a bit short on the execution. And I love the guy falling because he didn't realize the steps were gone. Did they test his BAC, too?

My guess would be that, if the stairs have been there the last thousand times you went down them, well...
And can someone explain how you get "...two counts of felony drunken driving." out of one stop?

Sounds as tho those drivers had a VERY Merry Christmas ... until they started driving ...

I hate to be dark, but as OldPhil pointed out, there's a certain comic element about the guy falling down through the hole where the stairs used to be.

That's what I'm sayin'.
