Still, though, that would take a fair bit of alcohol and some big brass balls.

From your Philly types, to yinz down in the 'burg. This sounds more like someone out in the middle of the state in no mans land. Doubt it was Allentown or he would have been humming Billy Joel when he called.

All I can say is, don't ever drive from Altoona to Pittsburgh on back roads in the middle of the night. And definitely don't stop for gas and coffee.
Trust me.

Town drunk? ;-)

I had a smoke and chatted for a few (in a small town, you know most of the cops), and when they asked what I was doing, I told them I was sure I would blow over the limit, so I had to wait a few hours before I could go home, so I was going for a walk.
They said that if they didn't see anyone who appeared intoxicated, or if I was willing to wait, they'd give me a ride home as soon as the bar rush was over.
Nice guys, and I actually pulled the same stunt two or three times.
It actually paid off huge later, because they now knew that if I was driving home I was probably sober, because I'd just come chat with them if I'd had too much.

- about a million for calling the police rather than a cab, or even just trying to sleep it off in his car that was parked in a parking lot.
If the parking lot was that of a privately owned business, he will likely get out of a DUI charge. The most they could get him for is public intoxication, unless they have a sworn statement admitting his traveling on public roads whilst impaired.

If the keys are in the ignition, running or not, it will hold up. At least with Wisconsin law.

I pulled into my neighborhood about 11pm on a Saturday night in December. In the dead enter of the road, differential lined up on the centerline, is a Chevy truck with the window down and some guy slumped over the wheel. Didn't know if the guy was dead or what. I went home and called the cops. Cops show up, guy gets arrested for DUI. Turns out that he had been to a Christmas party at his boss's house way back in the neighborhood. They got in a fight after getting lost in the neighborhood, she called a cab, took the truck keys and left him. I had to go to court and testify since I was the one that called the cops. The guy got off the DUI because he didn't have any keys to the truck available to him.

I'm sure the Judge will go light with that fact in mind.

It's still not as bad as calling an ex-girlfriend who's number you really should have removed from the phone.
