If you?re driving, you don?t want to be texting-it?s illegal. If you?re texting while driving, you definitely don?t want to be legally drunk-that?s really illegal.And, if you happen to be texting while driving drunk, you should make sure you don?t rear end a State Patrol squad car.
This actually happened. A Wausau man with a revoked driver's license was drunk and texting when he hit a State Patrol squad car Thursday. Police say they also found an uncased, loaded rifle behind the driver's seat and a concealed hunting knife in the driver's door pocket.
No one was hurt in the crash.
The man is charged with 4th offense OWI.
