Saw him in Delmar Pizza one time with a tall one. Not saying that man can't enjoy a brew or anything, but maybe he enjoys more than he should.

Might be like the state trooper that turned his truck over super bowl weekend and was never charged. Only little people have to obey the law these days it seems.

This one is a shocker. I heard in town that he was boozing it up with Jimmy Ireton. Now that's a story! More than just a DUI maybe haha.

I used to enjoy watching him to see his level of hangover eyes wee like 2 piss holes in the snow.lol he needed tooth picks to hold his eyes lids open.

I was about to say the same thing! People get on my nerves.

Wonder if he was forced to shave his beard? Was despondent over it? I still like him. Always acted professional. We all make mistakes in life. I hope he keeps his job. I also like to drink from time to time, but I stay home and do this and on a Friday or Saturday night with friends who stay over. Got to watch out for those revenue enhancement officers!

Noticed Dan wasn't there tonight for the 6pm news. Wonder if it was because of this?

Anonymous said...

Sorry too hear this everyone makes mistakes. I'm glad no one was hurt. Its a shame he was in the top news tonight. No one is perfect. Just doesn't pay too drink and drive. Unfortunately this is only the beginning.

When Westside Vol Fire Dept was hit, WBOC reported it. Thats all. Never said who did and if alcohol or road conditions involved. Just wondering why story reported but questions usually asked and reported on werent. That was end of story.

They legalized alcohol, for the taxes; didn't care about the negative effect it would have on individuals and families, and communities. Now MJ is being legalized for the taxes, and more people will be driving under the influence of drugs. Can't wait to see the destruction this will have on society.

Give the guy a break. I don't care who you are, we've all made mistakes. I don't know Brian Keane personally, but he seems to be an educated individual in his profession. And, he's a lot better to look at than the competition (including the others at WBOC).

Dear GOD what's up with all the Trooper Workman comments??? Don't we all want to have decent, honest, and highly competent police working in our community??

It's a shame this happened, and all the fallout it has caused. But when a person, ANY person makes THEIR own decision to drink and drive, you have to expect the worse.

The only bright spot in the weather segment was either Brian or Mike. Dan scares the hell out of me.

Is Keane his real last name? Sometimes they use different names on air, maybe that's why it's not on case search. Just a thought! Like Jimmy Hoppa...that's not his real first OR last name..

I don't drink at all but I would venture to guess that more than 3/4's of the people commenting on this post do. I would like to find ONE person on this thread who is without sin or who has never made a mistake. If he were a repeat offender, I could I understand but this is ridiculous!!!

All nonsense aside you know it's BAD when your employer reports it on their 6:00 evening news!! Have a little compassion there WBOC

Anonymous said...

I feel for him. I had a DUI over thirty years ago, and I still had to account for this when I had to look for a new job after being laid off after 25 years. Thanks to Google and the internet, the past can come back to bite you in the ass!

They might as well close all bars because in Maryland all you need is one beer to be declared intoxicated! Why the hell have Beer or Wine fests? The chamber of commerce promotes this and the cops are there waiting to arrest you at the exit!

I think he is a great weather guy and I hope WBOC will give him another chance. One of the few real men working there! Just hope he has a good lawyer, he will need one!

His life isn't ruined!! If it's his first offense probation before judgement fines court cost alcohol classes. Truth be told WBOC has been sitting back waiting on this, why else would they put it out all over their newscast?? They wanted a reason if they've let him go because of this

Anonymous said...

Interesting that I don't see this on the WMDT website... but Brian's employers called him out. Guess they have never been called out on the local news when they did something moronic. Don't get me wrong...this shouldn't have happened. But smearing his name is a little much!

Anonymous said...

If people can't enjoy a beer or glass of wine out then the restaurants shouldn't be allowed to serve it. I'm totally aware of the dangers of driving while intoxicated; but if people were honest, many if not most of us at some time in our lives have had a drink or two out at a restaurant (or elsewhere) and drove home just fine without incident (luckily without getting caught). This post doesn't say what his blood alcohol count was.... was it only moderately above the amount legally allowed or was he actually intoxicated?

Brian seems like a nice and likable guy, and he's a pretty good meteorologist. (He had an unlucky day).

He is very good at his job and unlike the rest actually has a sense of humor and personality. He definitely enjoys living life what wrong with hat

Well his coworker ran off the road, went into a ditch near Delmar with her child in the vehicle and assaulted the police officers all while under the influence of alcohol. She is still alive and employed there. Smh

Blowing a .3 is pretty significant, blowing a .03 isn't bad

Anonymous said...

Yeah. There is a huge difference between a .03 and .3, so which is it? I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure .03 is well below the legal limit of .08 sooooooooo. I feel like any other time a DUI/DWI is reported, the comments are much more hateful. "Oh, he could've killed someone" "What an idiot"... now not so much.

For God sake cut him some slack not like he was in an accident, or killed someone. I think he does a fantastic job very professional. Worked for his Dad, Mom and Dad were both great to me, good people. Must have been a real slow day for WBOC, not like their people haven't done the same, my sister worked there and she was and still drinks and drives.

WBOC needs to put their "big boy" pants on and support this kid. Grab this opportunity to show they are a family, welcome him back, and yes he should apologize on air, but get on with it. Evidently, Brian has a huge local and not-so local following; what a great example he can be now, especially for the millennials.

Anonymous said...

Impossible. He never worked the road.

Anonymous said...

You must be talking about Chris Black. Brent would have had to arrest you during the few weeks he was on field training. That is the only experience he has stopping cars.

Anonymous said...

Yep, that's him. No experience working the road but wants to hold others accountable for their production by taking their cars. How did that work out when SLEOLA came knocking? Same way it worked out when he screwed up the testing process, another promotion.

Anonymous said...

Hold up people its a DUI not a DWI. Anybody that has had 2 beers could get a DUI. I know a lot of you go to dinner and have a couple from time to time then drive home and if you say no you are lying. I hope he doesn't get fired he was on his own time not working. At least he wasn't found running around a parking lot in OC naked...wait I'd like to see him naked.

Anonymous said...

DUI - Driving Under the Influence; DWI - Driving While Impaired - different charges, different penalties. DWI used to be the biggest offense when it was Driving While Intoxicated. That was changed a couple of years ago. Now DWI means Driving While Impaired. DUI carries a 1 year &/or $1,000.00 maximum penalty while DWI carries 2 months &/or $500.00 penalty.
