Florida!

November 10, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Pinellas County deputy Michael Szeliga was being awarded a plaque by Mothers Against Drunk Drivers for making 100 DUI arrests.

He got too drunk to accept the award. The award was being presented at a two day DUI training for officers.  Szeliga skipped the training and went carousing around the hotel swimming pool instead.

He was described as “staggeringly drunk” by a witness at the Friday night banquet where he was slated to receive the MADD award.

Another officer reported seeing the deputy wearing “nothing but boxer shorts” in the hallway of the hotel.

He was so drunk that he had to hold on to the grass to keep from falling off.

Szeliga explained that he didn’t need to attend the train because he’s being transferred to the “crimes against children unit.”

Bad idea.  Real bad idea.

Thanks to Ralph for the heads up.

Be social and share!

    I can appreciate the irony – and the disgust.

    I wrote a song about a very similar situation. It’s called “Red Neck Down”. It will be the title track from my next album.

    I’m surprised he isn’t on the GOP clown show tonight.

    Maggie: Somebody said this on the intertubes and I laughed: Irony comes after wrinkly.

    The comedy just writes itself, no?

    Hey, give the man a break– he wasn’t *driving* drunk.

    And at least he had on boxer shorts. You think he can keep his boxers on when he’s chasing bad guys who want to hurt little kids?

    If he reacts to training about DUI by getting drunk, how will he react to training for the “crimes against children” unit? By committing said crimes against children?

    What a special Deputy Dawg. Had he been a civilian, or more to the point a POC, we know the charges that would have been brought. If in fact he had survived the detainment ‘procedure.’

    This guy has proven himself to be outside, above and anything but a man of law. He cannot cope with being an adult, thus he has no business anywhere near children. There are not enough Teddy Bears in the universe to attach to this guy and make him a figure sympathetic to children.
