Kentucky sheriff accused of driving more than 2x legal limit in cruiser

ROBERTSON COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - A Kentucky sheriff is accused of driving more than two times over the legal limit in his marked cruiser. 

According to an arrest citation, Kentucky State Police was contacted around 2 p.m. Wednesday in connection with a “disagreement” involving a Robertson County Schools SRO and Sheriff Terry Gray.

He should be ashamed of himself, a Kentucky sheriff drinking vodka instead of bourbon.

  1. “Kentucky man” is grossly underrated.

  2. The headline made me think he was speeding, not drunk.

    1. Same. Two times the legal limit...of what? Modern journalism at its finest.

  3. I don't think that I read the exact speed that he was driving. I mean 60 MPH in a 30 zone is not so bad. But 140 MPH in a 70 zone is pretty grim.

    1. The headline and first paragraph were written by someone who hasn't learned the first thing anyone writing professionally should do by habit - always re-read what you wrote and think about how it can be misread - but "legal limit" was referring to blood alcohol content, not the speed limit. It wasn't a traffic stop.

      The Sheriff was talking to a School Resource Officer, who saw that he was very drunk and called the Staties after he drove away, so they went and stopped him. You have to go down 7 paragraphs to find what should have been clear in the first paragraph, but the Sheriff's blood alcohol was .206. Around here, the law calls that "super drunk".
