Because he was a Chiefs player.
I got a DUI when I was 19 years old. The cops followed me from the parking lot of a bar, then pulled me over less than a quarter mile after I'd left.
I spent 20 minutes in the freezing cold (like 10 degrees) while they administered sobriety tests, searched my car, etc. I lived less than a half a mile from where they pulled me over. So asked the officer:
Me: Would you mind just following me home?
Office: I could do that. But I'm not going to do that.
I was taken to the police station, had to blow into the breathalyzer three different times, was arrested, booked and charged with a DUI. Some friends came by to pick me up a few hours late and I had to pay to have my car towed and released the following day.
Since it was my first, I qualified for diversion and since I successfully completed it, it's never appeared on my record.
I haven't drank and driven since. Either a designated driver or cabs.
