From Deadspin.com
I approached the passenger side door and immediately smelled the strong odor of alcoholic beverages coming from his car. He related that he is a news reporter for NBC News and had just met with attorney Joe AMENDOLA about the Jerry SANDUSKY case. His eyes were glassy. I asked how much alcohol he had consumed and he told me intially, “Two beers.” He related that one was an Otto’s Red something. His speech was slurred and he juxtaposed the letters in a few words. He also related that he takes an anti-depressant prescription drug but did not know the name. He thought it started with a “C.” He explained that he had been using his cell phone and that is why he was all over the road.
