From the Daily Comet:
THIBODAUX – Nicholls State University’s student-affairs director was arrested early Saturday for drunken driving after a state trooper allegedly observed him driving on the wrong side on a city thoroughfare.
Eugene Dial, 52, the university’s vice president of Student Services, was brought to the Lafourche Parish jail where he was issued a court summons for driving while intoxicated and driving left of center.
....
Dial maintains a high profile on the Nicholls campus because of his involvement with student safety and security issues. He also wrote the school’s first drug- and alcohol-abuse grant, he said.
One wonders why Eugene volunteered that bit of information.
Maybe he's planning on offering the evil twin defense. "That wasn't really me driving, your honor. I know better. It was really Mr. Hyde."
ReplyDeleteRuth, did you note that his lawyer is the mayor?
ReplyDeleteI hope I've learned my lesson. If it can happen to a 52 year old man who is involved in the community, than it could happen to me, a 73 year old granny who is involved in the blogging community.
