MINDEN, Nev. (AP) - A man who was out on bail following a drunken driving arrest is back behind bars after he was caught drinking a 12-pack of beer on the Douglas County Courthouse lawn. Martin Ruiz asked the judge to release him on his own recognizance, promising not to drink another beer or drive.

Judge Michael Gibbons set his bail at $100,000 on Monday, saying he was surprised Ruiz was released on recognizance the first time.

I have a cousin that did basically the same thing.He was suppose to go to court to face DUI charges and drank a pint of whiskey before he entered the court house. The Judge knew right away that he was drunk and threw him into the slammer for contempt of court.
