Bar Report: DUI Left Holding Wheel?

A guy who'd lost his designated driver is among the latest arrests made as a result of downtown Coeur d'Alene drinking. On a recent Saturday, CPD Blues arrested a 25YO male in the Coeur d'Alene Resort parking lot after responding to a hit-and-run report. The drunk claims he'd been drinking at the Shore Lounge and that his designated driver hit a parked vehicle and fled the scene before security arrived. After the "friend" left him, the drunk said he moved into the driver's seat, started to drive, and was detained by security. According to the police report, the suspect "did not have a lot of information about his designated driver / accident causing friend and was arrested on DUI charges." And now for two more episodes of Downtown Coeur d'Alene Bar report: Jan. 15-16, and: Jan. 20-26.
