NY judge jails man for lugging beer to DWI hearing

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.

All I know is they better give the guy back his 4 unopened beers when he gets out of jail. Not permitting the beer in a public building, OK, maybe, but they have no right to STEAL his beer.

You can't steal beer! Nobody owns beer, you just borrow it for a while then give it back to nature! :yesnod:

Seems like the guy brought one for the judge, one for the prosecutor, one for his attorney and one for the court reporter, plus his already opened beer. The guy was trying to be polite. It was just those idiot guards at the entrance to the courthouse that had no sense of decorum and confiscated his beer.
