While I never make remarks on Police Press Releases, I cannot resist on these two. You see, Deputy Tim Robinson pulled off a classic on these arrests. He arrested one guy for a DUI and when his friend came in to pick him up, he arrested his friend for a DUI as well. Talk about a Darwin Award!!!!!!

Location: Cedar Crossing, Salisbury, MD
Suspect: Ryan David Rivera, 25, Salisbury, MD
Narrative: On 24 April 2010 at 12:55 AM, a deputy on foot patrol on Cedar Crossing in Salisbury observed a group of disorderly subjects who appeared to be under the influence of alcohol walk from a residence and get into a vehicle parked on the street. As the deputy walked up to the vehicle, the deputy observed open containers of beer being held by the occupants. After instructing the operator, Ryan David Rivera to put the vehicle back into park and turn off the engine, the deputy discovered that Rivera appeared under the influence of alcohol. When the deputy asked Rivera for his driver’s license, Rivera produced an Identification Card and told the deputy he did not have a license any more.
The deputy had Rivera exit the vehicle for the purpose of gauging his level of sobriety. After Field Sobriety testing the deputy placed Rivera under arrest. Post arrest, the deputy learned that Rivera’s Maryland Driver’s license and privilege had been both suspended and revoked due to previous convictions for alcohol related driving offenses.
The deputy transported Rivera to the Maryland State Police barrack where he was processed.

handy, what a dumbass lol
Both these guys are dumbasses
you don't get a darwin unless you remove yourself from the gene pool.
Just and FYI... Darwin Awards are bequeathed upon those who remove themselves from the gene pool. Neither of the Gentlemen in this post accomplished this.
This actually happens all of the time. Nothing new here.
I just have to say that there's 100% chance the officer was NOT on foot patrol, certainly not around the onley road.
as far as the friend being arrested, there's no reason that should have really happened. the original guy should have been released on his own recognizance and been able to get a ride without the troopers permission
Whats really funny is that my friends and i were in a PARKED car with the key turned to the on position. The car was NOT running. Were smoking a cig outside and listening to music because we couldn't smoke in the house. I feel that the entire thing is a crock of crap. There is no reason that at 25 yrs old i cannot be under the influence of the same inhibitor these assholes drink everyweekend. Just because you THINK you know whats goin on doesn't mean that you are right. But whatever lets just continue to arrest anybody but those who are really destroying our community. If I would've been driving I would be able to accept this. But being the fact that i was PARKED in a PARKING LOT with the engine NOT running you guys can shove that darwin award up the south end of your north bound body. tyvm Ryan Rivera
Harsher judgements for DUIs was a good idea BUT from what I've seen (I have never had a DUI) it has become an excuse to generate revenue. These are now cash cows that the lawyers, judges and county want to milk for as much as they can. Once a person gets one, unless you have money, it becomes almost impossible to get it over with. Court costs, attorneys fees (if you can afford one), missing work.
