VERO BEACH — What’s a guy to do on the ride to jail?

For Seth Coffey, 25, it apparently was to ask to listen to music and sing a Journey power anthem from 1981, according to an arrest affidavit.

The case began Sept. 2 when an Indian River County sheriff’s deputy stopped a pickup.

Investigators said the driver, Coffey, didn’t look before pulling out on U.S. 1 in front of a patrol vehicle and also wasn’t wearing his seatbelt.

Coffey smelled of booze, had cases of beer in the back seat and empty cans in the truck bed. He said he’d imbibed three or four beers at one point, then said six.

Coffey, of Vero Beach, was arrested on a DUI charge after taking field sobriety exercises.

“While en route to the jail Mr. Coffey asked to listen to music,” the affidavit states. “He proceed(ed) to sing to Don’t Stop Believing.”

“Don’t Stop Believin’” is one of three hit singles from Journey’s seventh studio album, which was released in 1981.

The song begins, “Just a small town girl living in a lonely world; She took the midnight train going anywhere; Just a city boy born and raised in South Detroit; He took the midnight train going anywhere”

Over the years the song gained a foothold in popular culture, and is considered by some as possibly Journey’s greatest hit.

After the journey to jail, Coffey’s blood alcohol content measured 0.252 and 0.253.

That’s more than three times the legal limit of 0.08, meaning it could be difficult to argue to don’t stop believin’ that Coffey may have been impaired.
