Man Brings Beer To DWI Hearing

Keith Gruber

They say that you should never drink a beer during a job interview. You can stretch that to what 49 year old Keith Gruber did at a pre-trial hearing for DWI in upstate New York. Gruber had been arrested on December 27 for DWI. It was not his first offense and between then and now, he was free on $30,000 cash bail.

This week, he shows up in court, 90 minutes late, carrying a black bag containing 4 cans of beer and drinking a can of Busch beer. Witnesses say Gruber was "tipsy."

Judge Frank LaBuda was not amused. Gruber got sent directly to jail, no bail, no beer.
