Guess it doesn't always pay to advertise.
CBS New York reports police in Suffolk County on Long Island arrested Kevin Daly after he slammed into a cop car. According to officers, Daly, 22, was driving in Mount Sinai around 1:45 a.m. when he hit the patrol car while attempting to turn onto Route 25A.The New York Post says the officer, who is on the county's SAFE-T (Selective Alcohol Fatality Enforcement Team) section, was brought to the hospital with minor injuries. Daly wasn't hurt in the collision.
His shirt read in full, "I'm not an alcoholic. I'm a drunk. Alcoholics go to meetings."
However, he will soon have a meeting with a judge. Daly is set to be arraigned on Thursday in Central Islip, N.Y.
Meanwhile, the Post also reports that the county police SAFE-T unit has made more than 830 DWI arrests this year.
