Nebraska: Brent Smoyer hits the campaign trail with a snoot full on his way to kill voters while DUI; now he’s sorry…he got caught

His friends thought he was OK to drive, he said.

“It’s embarrassing,” he said. “I’m ashamed. It was an honest mistake.

“But the fact remains, I was over the limit — so sayeth the law.”
