Lawmaker Gets DWI On Way Home From Anti-DWI Ceremony

POSTED: 3:08 p.m. EST March 4, 2004

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A New Mexico state lawmaker says he's "terribly embarrassed" about his arrest for drunken driving.

Especially since it came as he drove away from a bill-signing ceremony marking a crackdown on people who repeatedly drive while intoxicated.

Police in Albuquerque say Joe Thompson was pulled over after his vehicle rolled too far into an intersection at a red light. They say his breath-alcohol tests came back at 0.11 and 0.12 -- which is above the limit of 0.08

The 37-year-old Republican, the state's House minority whip, says he'll get treatment if advised to do so.

Thompson had been at an event marking some new laws that get tough on repeat drunken drivers. But none would affect Thompson if he is convicted.

Boy... talk about irony! :crazy:
 
:crazy: Sounds like he got :Owned: By marking some new laws that get tough on repeat drunken drivers. When He the One who Got Drunk Himself...:lol:
 
i think he was massively STUPID to drive drunk after he attended the anti-DWI ceremony!!! :roll: AND a hypocrite too!
 
DWI? Thought it was supposed to be DUI? What's the difference between DUI and DWI?
 
if im not mistaken, its DUI= Driving under influence DWI= driving within influence.
 
Driving while under the influence i think thats another right thing too, but hey im sure others will correct us properly :)
 
I thought DWI would actually mean "driving while impaired"...as drinking would impair your vision, hearing, and speech, and also your ability to drive...

most drivers who are into accidents or were killed or whatever were usually caused by drinking so maybe they should do something to tighten the rules on buying alchol or something
 
Ah I found it.. It said "Driving While Intoxicated" I never thought of that. I alway thought Driving While Influence. OOPS. ;-)

Yes, that's right. It's usually DWI for people who are under the influence of alcohol. DUI are usually for people under the influence of drugs or other illegal substances.
