Fast food and crime don’t mix.

Workers at a Burger King in Montana jumped into action when they realized a drive-thru customer was acting bizarrely. The quick-thinking staff figured out a way to keep the driver from leaving the scene until authorities could arrive and investigate.

Restaurant workers said they noticed the driver of the car drinking from a bottle and acting "really sloppy." After he ordered his food, the staff asked the car to pull around and wait for the food to be prepared.

Public Information Officer Travis Welsh told KGVO, "The caller explained that they had observed the driver drinking alcohol from a bottle while in the drive-thru. They asked him to pull forward while they waited for his food. At that point, they called 911."

He continued, "The first officer on the scene observed the vehicle matching the description sitting in the middle of the parking lot occupied by three persons. The officer made contact with the driver who was identified as 38-year-old Joseph Brownell."

The responding police officers reportedly noticed signs that the driver was possibly intoxicated and began an investigation.

"The officer noted that a passenger in the front had an open container of alcohol and that there was a strong odor of alcohol coming out of the passenger compartment of the vehicle," Welsh explained. "The officer had the driver step out and conducted a DUI investigation. At the conclusion of which, Mr. Brownell was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. The officer learned that Mr. Brownell had previous convictions, making this his fourth or subsequent."

Cops do a great job of arresting these POS's, if only our lawmakers and courts did as good of a job punishing them.

10,142 drunk driving deaths in 2019
364 rifle deaths in 2019 (all rifles, not just so called "assault rifles")

But "assault rifles" are the only "public health crisis" politicians want to talk about.

Nobody is talking about heart attack, obesity, cholesterol, and related health issues associated with Fast Food, which, since going on a strict diet, I don't eat anymore.  I applaud the thinking of the Workers there, which is not unlike Workers at other chain stores, in looking out for the other guy.  I applaud the LEO's for their response. 

The four-time scofflaw though is another story altogether.  He will return to his drinking and presumably his driving, regardless of the number of DUI's he wracks up.  Incarceration is the only recourse for this drunk for the welfare of the Public.
