In a bizarre incident that highlights the dangers of driving under the influence, a man was caught by police after he refused to stop his SUV and instead chose to take it for an impromptu joyride. The driver, later identified as Long, had been stopped at an intersection when a traffic light turned green, but instead of proceeding forward, he lurched the vehicle forward and then suddenly stopped again.

According to reports, the officer noticed that the man was acting erratically and ordered him to pull over. However, Long refused, instead choosing to continue driving recklessly through the streets. He drifted onto a median island, nearly losing control of the vehicle, and crossed over the centerline multiple times, prompting the officer to turn on his emergency lights and perform a traffic stop.

When the officer finally managed to get Long out of the SUV, he was holding a half-empty bottle of whiskey in one hand and refusing to cooperate. Despite being told to stop, Long continued to curse at the officer while staying in his vehicle. It wasn't until he was commanded to get out of the driver's seat that he reluctantly complied.

The consequences for Long were severe: he was fined $600 and had his driver's license revoked for three years. Additionally, as part of his conditions of supervision following his release from prison, Long must maintain absolute sobriety and undergo an alcohol and drug assessment and any other recommended programming or treatment.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of responsible driving habits and the devastating consequences that can result when individuals choose to get behind the wheel while under the influence.
