Drunk Man Tries to Bail out Woman for Drunk Driving, Promptly Arrested

 A 34-year-old North Olmsted man could have used better judgment May 11 when he went to bail out a friend who had been arrested for operating under the influence earlier that morning.

The man arrived at the police station just after 4 a.m.

Westlake police found him to be under the influence and he was arrested for drunk driving as well.

Police subsequently determined that he had been drinking with the woman before her arrest. He had also been using medicine prescribed to him. Both were later released to a sober friend.
