ID. SENATOR JOHN MCGEE GOES ON DRUNKEN RAMPAGE

CAR-AZY
IF YOUR going to go on a crazy drunken rampage there's no point doing things by halves. 
And boy, did Idaho State Senator John McGee go for it. 
The former 'Republican Legislator of the Year' who recently  supported legislation to outlaw texting and driving, got completely wasted, stole an SUV, crashed it and then went to sleep in it. 
The Senate's youngest member had one too many at a Boise golf course Saturday night before jumping into the Ford Excursion with the 20ft trailer hooked up, which had been left with the keys in. 
Shortly afterwards he tried turning the vehicle and trailer around in a driveway only to jackknife it and become stuck.
At this point the somewhat confused senator got out and went for a little wander before returning to the vehicle and falling asleep.
According to Sgt. Carlos De Leon with Sheriff's Office two children at the home where McGee tried to turn the SUV were watching from a window and the amused youngsters called the cops.  
When deputies arrived, Mr McGee told them on he was heading for Jackpot in Nevada, on the border with Idaho.
A Breathalyzer test showed his blood alcohol content to be .15, nearly twice the Idaho state limit.
He spent Father's Day in jail and will be arraigned Monday afternoon. 
We're fairly sure a Legislator of the Year award won't be on the agenda this year.

CALI MAN DROVE 51 MILES WITH WIFE ON VAN HOOD

WILD RIDE
TAKE a deep breath, compose yourself and then calmly talk through your problems to resolve your dispute - or if your Christopher Carroll, drive 51 miles with your wife clinging onto your car.
After they fell out his wife Rebecca, 25, stood in front of the van as he tried to drive away. Police spokesman Rex Osborn said: "She kind of goes with the van to try to stop him, gets up on the hood and is hanging on to the wiper blade. She obviously didn't think he would keep driving." 
But rather than slow down, he just carried on driving for a full 51-miles, weaving through traffic on a busy highway and turning up the music to drown out her screams. Two witnesses called 911 from the road to report what was happening. One of them followed Carroll and told police his
speed reached 100 mph. 
Carroll eventually slowed down enough that his wife "was able to roll off," Osborn told The Stockton Record.The witness following the vehicle transported her to a nearby hospital, where she was treated for hypothermia.
Carroll, 26,  pleaded guilty to attempted murder and spousal abuse charges as part of a deal with prosecutors, who downgraded the murder charge to say Carroll's actions were not premeditated.
We don't know, but we'd imagine divorce papers will follow soon.
