"5-year legal fight over O’Doul’s beer"
See what you think of this...
Steve Hansen posted this on the ABQjournal website:
"Southern’s difficulty started in 2008 when a Tucumcari police officer pulled him over after observing Southern making improper lane crossings when negotiating a turn, records show.
The officer, identified as L.P. Emilio, noticed the open container of O’Doul’s and another open empty O’Doul’s container in the car, records show. Southern told the officer that he was drinking the O’Doul’s, and the officer charged Southern with having an open container of an alcoholic beverage in the car, a criminal offense under state law. He was found guilty before Municipal Judge Joe Dominguez.
Since then, Southern has made several attempts to have his case re-heard. All have been thrown out on procedural grounds, court records show."
