RSSEat, Drink, and Be Merry – Except When Driving the Christmas Parade Float
When they said the Christmas Holidays were the time to “eat, drink, and be merry.” they were not talking about doing so as you are driving a float in a Christmas parade. David Allen Rogers was driving a float in the Anderson Christmas Parade in South Carolina with children and adults on top when he decided to pass a tractor that was going slower. Next thing we know “people on the float” are calling 911.
When officers caught up to 42-year-old David Allen Rodgers, he had an open container of alcohol in the truck he used to haul the children and adults on the float for a dance studio. Witnesses say Rodgers was driving in line in Sunday’s parade when he pulled out to pass a tractor in the float.
Police say Rodgers sped down Main Street and ran a red light, while a witness on the float called 911 on a cell phone. Rodgers, whose child was on the float, faces more than three dozen charges, including DUI, kidnapping and assaulting an officer. He will have a bond hearing on the kidnapping charge later this week. via wltx.com
No word yet on whether Rogers entry into the Father of the Year contest will be accepted.
