MONTICELLO, N.Y. -- Authorities say a New York man appearing before a judge on a felony drunken driving charge arrived at court an hour and a half late, drunk and carrying an open can of Busch beer.



Sullivan County Undersheriff Eric Chaboty says Keith Gruber of Swan Lake had four unopened beer cans in his bag Monday when he tried to walk through the metal detector at the county courthouse.



The Middletown Times Herald-Record reports that Judge Frank LaBuda asked the 49-year-old Gruber if he enjoyed his liquid lunch. Gruber said he did, then said he was sorry. The judge revoked his bail and sent him to jail, where he remained Tuesday.



Gruber was arrested Dec. 27 in the town of Liberty and was out on $30,000 cash bail. He has prior DWI convictions.



The judge dismissed Gruber's court-appointed lawyer Monday because Gruber refused to cooperate with him. A phone number listed for Gruber was disconnected.

Seriously, this is the exact sort of thing that can get you in even more hot water (trouble) and depending on what other charges were pending, this sort of crap would only add to the list of charges he's already facing. Not only that, but he's made himself more dangerous to others by pulling this stunt if he wasn't dangerous already. Or if he was dangerous, he's just made matters worse for himself.
