Deaf Anthology # 232: "DUI"

Alaskan state trooper stopped a Deaf driver on suspicious of driving under the influences of alcohol (DUI), "Damn that Deaf guy is Drunk," radioed to the dispatcher requesting an interpreter on the Seward Highway outside of Anchorage. The Deaf guy admitted having a few Buds, but refused to take a breathalyzer until the interpreters shows up. "If I have to freezed my ass waiting for that damn interpreter, so be it," the Deaf scribbling on a note exercising his rights under Alaskan laws. It's getting dark, a few hours have passed and still the interpreter haven't shown up. "That Deaf stubborn, stood his grounds," finally the interpreter shown up apologizing that she was at a party with friends when she was paged.

Time was on the Deaf side, because during all that time waiting, he became sober enough to pass the test, and is off the hook. The frustrated trooper asked the interpreter "didn't you mentioned that you were at a party...?" The interpreter fails the breathalyzer and was arrested on the spot and taken to jail. At least the officer have someone's collar, and having no sympathy. The Deaf driver bailed out the interpreter the next day, last I heard is that they got married.
