TEE MANY MARTOONIES


Portage, IN (SafeCITY) - Zachary R. Duis, a 24-year-old Portage man was jailed for drunk driving after insisting to deputy "Dude, I do this every night!"

According to the Porter County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched around 2:20 a.m. on a report a man in a 1995 Chevrolet s-10 driving erratically.

A deputy pulled the truck over and found an open container of alcohol. They conducted a sobriety test on Duis, which he failed.

He was then taken to the Portage Police Department for a breathalyzer test, which showed his blood alcohol level to be four times the 0.08% legal limit, according to investigators

Duis reportedly told a state trooper “Dude, I do this every night. I’m straight up and not drunk,” basically admitting that he drinks and drives every night.

Duis was booked into the Porter County Jail on charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Duis was also apprehended on two warrants for resisting law enforcement and furnishing alcohol to a minor
