One called 911 and, sure that the pilot was dead, drove off to a golf game.Well, not necessarily "sure", but when you've got that prime early tee time you can't really be bothered with trivial matters.

I went back and looked at the linked AP story. I agree about the drinking-drivin-flying thing. Many years ago - yes. Very stupid.
I'll be the first to admit that we 'partied' in Nam. There were mornings that I climbed into a Huey and flew, not knowing if I was hung over or still drunk. Here but for the grace of . . .
True story : In the late seventies I was stationed at Davison Army Airfield outside DC near Ft. Belvoir. A friend of mine had Duty Officer one night and told me about this a few days later. He got a call from the Tower after someone had just made an unauthorized landing. (civilian aircraft needed a PPR.) The plane had pulled up on one of the ramps and my friend went out to talk to the pilot. As he approached the plane the pilot stumbled out along with a few empty beer cans. The pilot, obviously under the weather, asked, "Which way to Richmond?" All my friend could think about was all the paperwork he would have to complete, so he says to the fellow, "Take off in that direction (pointing west), and turn left. Follow the lights of I-95." He didn't enter any of it into the log and nothing ever happened about it.

LOL.

If I'd been flying Hueys in Nam, I may have strayed from my currnet policy. I am much wiser at 50 than I was in my 20's, and older too.
Thank you for your service.

I beg to differ: Democrats have problems with illicit drugs, Republicans have problems with alcohol. This young man, also refered to as an "effin' moron," is white, clean shaven, has a close cropped haircut and lives in Texas. Chances are he's an R.

Foreman went to pick up Kadlecek at his home just south of Angleton and noticed that he had his toothbrush. A defence attorney I know tells his clients when it's "toothbrush day." As in, "This isn't just a hearing, Louie, it's toothbrush day today." In our state it is just an expression as the inmate is not permitted to bring his own toothbrush, but we taxpayers kindly buy him one.
He looks good in the orange flight suit... gotta get me one of them!

Amnesty for the High Flyer! (after he pays the damages). Somehow I don't see this happening. This guy is obviously not one of life's high earners, but the 172 is worth a rock bottom minimum of $25k. I suspect it will be a w/o.
The initial judgment of the FAA inspector was that the machine was destroyed. Here's the FAA preliminary on this "accident." Scroll down to record 4 (that's actually all Cessna mishaps over the weekend, nine in all, ranging from a fatal accident to landing gear malfunctions). The owner may or may not have "hull" (equivalent of "collision" on an auto) insurance on the plane... he may have to absorb the loss. Ouch.

Anyone familiar with Angleton?
Yes, but just as a destination to go to from Houston in the middle of the drunken night for some grub.
