Man Gets DUI in Demolition Derby

While crashes are encouraged in a demolition derby, driving under the influence is generally not.

According to NBC Washington, a 36-year-old Kentuckian man was arrested for driving drunk in a demolition derby, just minutes after he won.

David Warner was competing in the Jessamine County Fair's derby, when police officers received several complaints about his driving. Shortly after the event, Nicholasville police detained him and determined he was drunk.

According to officers, he was "staggering" and having trouble standing up. Upon failing a field sobriety test, he was arrested for DUI.

Warner told NEWSFIRST he was plenty sober, at least sober enough for a demolition derby. He did admit having a "a few beers to loosen me up."

"I mean, I'm not denying I wasn't drinking by no means, but I was not drunk. I was under the limit," Warner said. "I'm not perfect, but this has gone too far, and I will fight it," he said.
