Chronic inebriates of America, meet your new king. Last night, Blaine police happened upon an abandoned truck smashed into a utility pole. Further up the same road they found another abandoned car, this time a BMW with its bumper torn off. Police say a 54-year-old man then returned to the scene in his own personal tow truck, intending to haul away his cars. He reportedly reeked of alcohol, failed a field sobriety test and is now facing three DUI charges. (King 5)
