Dumbass Award: Man Shows Up Drunk At DUI Sentencing Hearing

Jason Botos of Papillion, Nebraska wins the Dumbass of the Day Award. Why? Botos showed up at his DUI sentencing hearing with a .43 blood alcohol level. That's over 5 times the legal limit.  According to the all-knowing website Wikipedia, anything over .40 is actually considered lethal!!! After an original arrest for a DUI where Botos jumped a curb and hit five vehicles and critically injuring three people, he was scheduled to be sentenced back in September of 2009 and already had a drunk driving conviction on his record before that. When he failed to show up for the September 2009 hearing an arrest warrant was issued. This time Botos' father drove him to the courthouse this week to finally be sentenced. Unfortunately, he showed up so drunk that the dad had to ask Sheriff's deputies to help Botos inside the courthouse because Botos was not able to walk under his own  power. Daaaammm!!! Me thinks someone has a wee bit of a drinkin' problem. Seriously, how do you show up to a court hearing drunk? And court hearings are in the day no later than early afternoon so to drink that much so early is like wow. Well the judge ordered Botos to jail but when he blew a .43, he was taken to the hospital to be checked out and then back to the jail. Now sentencing was delayed again. This time he has even more charges to answer for and is reported to be looking at 18 months in jail. I think Dr. Drew should showhorn this dude into next season's show.
