High driver calls 911 to report hit and run
Police say 38-year-old Malcolm Sidbury was driving south on the Taconic Parkway in Columbia County on Wednesday when he told dispatchers his car had been hit by another vehicle that didn't stop.
Troopers spotted the vehicles and stopped both. They determined Sidbury was driving while impaired by drugs and that the other driver, 57-year-old Thomas Robbins, of Poughkeepsie, was driving while intoxicated. Police say Robbins' blood-alcohol content was .25 percent, more than three times the legal limit.
I assume he was stoned.I would have just let it go if I was high enough to be noticed.Lying to the insurance company is preferable to dealing with the heroes.
No discretion used by the cops.
The dude who gets sideswiped by the drunk off his ass motherfucker gets jammed up too.
If he hadn't called the cops that dude could have killed somebody up the way.Let this be a lesson never do the right thing if it involves calling the cops.
You put yourself in jeopardy every time time you have to deal with those assholes.
