3713...Speaking Of Cinco De Mayo

Shin-Soo Choo, a Cleveland Indians outfielder, got a head start on the big day. He was arrested for DUI, with a .20 BAC, that is ridiculously drunk, and by the same cop who helped him with directions a few minutes beforehand.

Jim Ingraham of the Morning-Journal, northern Ohio fishwrap reports that:

According to the police report, Choo was arrested at 2:38 a.m. Monday in the 5500 block of Lake Road in Sheffield Lake. Choo had originally asked a police officer for directions to Avon Lake. The officer, who said he did not detect any odor of alcohol on Choo, gave the Indians outfielder directions, and followed him.

Choo, driving a white Cadillac SUV, eventually pulled off the road and turned on his hazard lights. The officer again gave Choo directions and again followed Choo, who began to drive erratically.

According to the police report, the officer "observed the vehicle cross the white fog line and drive onto the bike path. The vehicle then crossed back over into his lane of traffic and then drove over the double yellow lines again."

The officer then pulled Choo over a second time. Choo told the officer he was unable to get his GPS working, and the police report states that it was then that the officer noticed a smell of alcohol on Choo, and that the player's eyes were bloodshot.

At least he wasn't on steriods.
