Deputy restrained in K-9 cage after DUI arrest

Deputy restrained in K-9 cage after DUI arrest

Associated Press - February 3, 2010 1:15 PM ET

BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - An arrest report says a Sullivan County deputy had to be placed in a K-9 cage after he became belligerent during a DUI arrest.

The Kingsport Times-News reports 47-year-old Samuel Monroe Bledsoe was fired from the sheriff's office on Monday following an internal investigation of the incident.

The Tennessee State Highway patrol report says Trooper David Osborne arrested Bledsoe on Friday after a Tennessee Department of Transportation HELP truck driver called to report a driver who was "vomiting on himself and seemed very intoxicated."

Osborne said he had to explain one field sobriety test 18 times to Bledsoe. He performed poorly.

Bledsoe repeatedly identified himself as a Sullivan County deputy and asked to be taken home. Troopers told him they couldn't do that.

Sounds like another jack-booted thug who thinks the laws don't apply to him....

1. Is anyone other than "thugs" described as "jack-booted" anymore?

The esteemed Deputy Bledsoe should thank his lucky stars that they didn't taser him nine or ten times while he was in the cage.

4. For God's sake he was blind drunk------calling him a "jack-booted thug"

just because he's a deputy is ridiculous.

5. It's not just because he was a deputy

Read the OP again... and see if you can figure out *why* he's a typical jack-booted thug who thinks the laws don't apply to him...

8. Here, I'll make it easier for you....

"Bledsoe repeatedly identified himself as a Sullivan County deputy and asked to be taken home."

In other words: "it's ok, I'm a cop!"

Only a jack-booted thug would think it's ok for himself to break the laws he is sworn to enforce on others... just because he's a cop...

11. I get it because I live in MA and our some of our politicians have

pulled the same thing.

Drunken behaviour is not rational behavior.

17. That's a pretty low standard for a JBT designation

Most people who break the law think those laws don't apply to them, and most people who get caught use whatever they can to weasel out of it.

Sounds to me like this asshole got treated appropriately; the part I don't get from the article is why the K9 cage? Does the Tenn. HP not have handcuffs and regular cars to put people in? Was this guy such a bruiser that a regular car couldn't contain him?

:shrug:

19. But it wasn't. He got fired and locked in a dog kennel.

Would you be satisfied if he'd been summarily executed on the street?

12. We had a classic around here 'bout a dozen years ago.

They found a town cop in Springfield, VT sittin' in his truck in the middle of the road, pantless, and in such a bad state he had shit himself. He tried to claim someone had put something in his drink, but there were a LOT of drinks, and nobody bought it.
