Drunk driver calls police for burger

 

 

 

A drunk driver in central Alberta was arrested after he failed to get a burger. The incident occurred at a fast food restaurant in Red Deer around 4 a.m. on Sunday, April 19. The 38-year-old Silver Lake man drove 35 minutes to the restaurant. When the staff told him that the food was not available due to technical problems, he got into an argument and called 911, complaining that the staff were behaving badly.

The man told officers who arrived at the scene that he was drunk but would not leave without a burger. Police asked him to take a breathalyzer test after seeing signs of intoxication, but he refused. His license was revoked and the vehicle was impounded by police under the Traffic Safety Act. Police warned the public that driving after drinking and driving is a serious offense and urged them to plan their journeys in advance and travel safely.
