Yeah, that's true about the statutes. Not to mention being in a car after some drinks, he could have slapped on a dui as well. It kind of makes me wonder why he would have said something like that.

Oh well, that's all a bit off topic. I spoke with my free legal counsel this morning. She told me basically the same thing that the ex-officer did: probably speak to a DA, fine, and probation. I'm not sure what was quoted below, but I think that was for a misdemeaner, not a petty crime.
And to quote a classic Chevy Chase in Caddyshack: "I was born to love you / I was born to lick your face / I was born to rub you / but you were born to rub me first /... What do you say we take this out on the patio?"
I should have tried that line instead.
