Drunken Man Knocks Himself Unconscious (Skipping Out on Cab Fare)
NEWS HERALD ^ | June 23, 2011

Posted on 06/24/2011 5:11:11 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A 35-year-old transient knocked himself out cold early Tuesday morning trying to skip out on a cab fare he evidently forgot he’d already paid, according to an incident report.

A cabbie called Bay County Sheriff’s Office deputies to the Summer Breeze Motel just before 4 a.m. Tuesday after his “highly intoxicated” fare tripped over his own feet in the parking lot and knocked himself unconscious. The cabbie had dropped the man at the motel after another hotel had refused to admit him because of his intoxication.

When the cab arrived at the Summer Breeze, the man left his belongings in the cab and took off running as if to avoid paying for the ride. The cab driver called for an ambulance and waited with the unconscious man until deputies and medical personnel arrived.

EMS workers were able to wake the man, who couldn’t remember his name or where he was, and he was taken to the Bay County Jail for detox.

By the way I apologize if that is offensive, but if a southern redneck has some jacked up 4 wheel drive he only drives in the city then your northern a$$ redneckness must surely have a snowmobile.

LOL oh.

No snowmobile. Its not worth it here in the south central part of the state. We just can’t count on getting enough snow very often during the winter. They’re fine on the lakes if you like to go flat out.
