Late last year, Oklahoma State Representative Ryan Martinez became the latest Oklahoma lawmaker to embarrass himself, his family, and his office when he was arrested for a second DUI in eight years.
You may remember the case.
On a brisk and chilly November night, an intoxicated Martinez showed up at the Patriarch in Edmond for some after-dinner-drinks drinks. An aware staff refused to serve him, so he stumbled outside to his vehicle. The staff then called the police, who promptly arrived on the scene to find a drunk and slobbery Martinez in the front seat of his truck with the ignition running, preparing to drive home.
