CORVALLIS, Ore., April 8 (UPI) -- A 21-year-old Oregon man lived up to what was printed on his shirt during an arrest for DUI in Corvallis.

While he was being busted for driving under the influence, Ross Allan McMakin was wearing a shirt bearing the phrase, “Drunk as [Expletive].”


During the incident, McMakin allegedly drove his ex-girlfriend home after a party and then got upset when she told him he was too drunk to drive and took his keys.

After she ran into her house, he allegedly “followed her inside, where he slapped, pushed and choked her in an effort to get his keys back, then drove away.”

The girlfriend reportedly observed McMakin drive on the sidewalk, hit a parked car and drive in the wrong lane.

McMakin was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, reckless driving, reckless endangerment, harassment and strangulation.

When he was booked into Benton County Jail, McMakin’s blood alcohol level measured over 0.2 percent, well above the legal limit to be behind the wheel.
