Truck Driver's Day Takes a Turn After Police Find 170 Beer Bottles
New Hampshire police came upon a shocking discovery when they searched the inside of the semi-truck in Bow, NH. Police pulled over 33-year-old Edgar Ramirez after he was found to be blocking school buses. Upon pulling him over, Ramirez did not respond to police commands to leave the truck. They were forced to remove him, resulting in a short-lived struggle.
When investigating the matter further, they found that Ramirez had 170 beer bottles in his truck. The incident happened on October 23rd. Ramirez is a driver from Odessa, Texas. As you can imagine, he’s in a whole boatload of trouble.
Besides the potential loss of his CDL license, Edgar Ramirez faces charges including:
Resisting arrest
DWI
Open bottle
Ramirez was officially arraigned at the Concord District Court on October 26th.
Several Hours of Police Search
New Hampshire police had already been on the lookout for this semi-truck after someone reported a potentially intoxicated driver leaving the parking lot from one of the local truck stops. They had a hard time locating the semi-truck. Eventually, it was found in Bow, New Hampshire, and arrested on 12 Robinson Road.
The New Hampshire police said that they would like to remind people that driving under the influence is dangerous, but driving under the influence with a commercial vehicle is even worse because of the disproportionate size of these vehicles. Semi-truck accidents are often fatal.
