Caffeine may be the “nootropic” brain drug of choice in Silicon Valley, but an hour’s drive north in Solano County, California, the stimulant could get you charged with driving under the influence.
That is according to defense attorney Stacey Barrett, speaking on behalf of her client, Joseph Schwab.
After being pulled over on 5 August 2015, Schwab was charged by the Solano County district attorney with misdemeanor driving under the influence of a drug.
Almost 18 months later, Schwab is preparing to go to trial. The only evidence the DA has provided of his intoxication is a blood test showing the presence of caffeine.
Shcwab was driving home from work when he was pulled over by an agent from the California department of alcoholic beverage control, who was driving an unmarked vehicle. The agent said Schwab had cut her off and was driving erratically.
He should sue the county.
never heard of that agency-but in calif. nothing surprises me anymore. unmarked car-why did he stop? I would have kept driving-could have been some crazy person-which it was…..
As Bruce Willis said in the Christmas classic Die Hard ‘Effing California!’ (RIP Alan Rickman)
P. S. That agent sounds like a real witch!
First of all Solano County is East of the Bay Area. Fairfield is a military town, home to Travis AFB. RED NECK. The California department of alcoholic beverage control is a state agency that monitors liquor licenses. I’m reasonably sure they can’t write traffic tickets.
I’m calling this FAKE NEWS.
My take: She’s She-Agent of the Calif. Bureau of Alcohol (?), a wannabe cop. He passed her on the highway and it pissed her off.
Take it from there.
Brad she didn’t write a ticket. She locked him up. Drew blood, breathalized him, the whole nine yards. What a POS.
Tommy. I’ll guarantee you she wasn’t driving a Crown Vic with a light bar on it. She was most likely driving a state owned Geo Metro or something similar. She has no authority to write tickets or make a traffic stop.
If the story claimed the bitch called in the CHP for the stop I might go with it. But that’s not the claim. Her purpose in life is to monitor bars and liquor stores. Thin.
“He passed her on the highway and it pissed her off.
Take it from there.”
Exactly what I thought.
MJA. Exactly! Merry Christmas to all at IOTW, Happy Hanukkah, and have a Blessed New Year.
Brad her purpose in life is to make mans life miserable. he,he,he
Tommy, I just saw a great mime on I.G. Big picture of Trump smiling and the top caption reads “First man ever to” the bottom, “Win an argument with a woman”.
OR… He refused to drive dangerously (way over the speed limit) or allow her to pass and she rode his rear bumper for several miles slowly pissing her off more and more.
I can’t imagine living in CA-I know the coast is what gets the ink but fuck. I left CO for crap like this and I was over a 100 miles from Denver/Boulder in my last place there.
It’s only going to get worse. The one bright spot is that not too many of these REgressive pukes are going to look at w Texas and say, my what a garden, lets move there.
Here in Vagina, a “team” of ABC “agents” jacked up a young woman, “swat team” style, in c-ville(UVA) over a “case of “beer” that turned out to be h2o. Us tax payers are footin the bill for the civil court fiasco now. It’s what happens when you give arrest powers and guns to those that are prone to overcompensating & too doltish to qualify for a real cop.
That ABC “cop” should be arrested for driving under the influence of megalomania.
Idle curiosity: Are there such things as high-heeled jack boot?

Yes. But it would probably cost extra. lol.
