There's one less drunk driver on the road. James Hubbell turned himself in to police early Sunday after calling 911 at around 4:45 a.m. In the tape of the 911 call, which was released yesterday, the 64-year-old Hubbell can be heard saying, "I'm drunk and I'm drinking, so [expletive] pick me up and take me to jail."

Man Sentenced For Faking Seizures At Restaurants
A Baltimore man has been sentenced to 18 months in jail faking seizures to get out of paying restaurant bills. Andrew Palmer pleaded guilty last week to one count of theft scheme, and the judge agreed to impose an 18-month sentence, the maximum Palmer could receive. Prosecutors said Palmer ate and drank at several restaurants between April and July, and when he couldn’t pay, he would fake a seizure that required medical personnel to respond.
Man Denied Name Change To Boomer The Dog
A judge has denied a Green Tree, Pennsylvania, man’s petition to legally change his name to Boomer The Dog, saying it would cause confusion and have unintended consequences, such as “putting the public welfare at risk.” Gary Guy Mathews – a 44-year-old fan of anthropomorphism, the lifestyle that celebrates giving human characteristics to animals – is also a fan of the 1980s NBC series “Here’s Boomer,” which featured a dog who rescued people. Mathews says his friends already call him Boomer, as did his late parents, though that took some persuading.
Go-Cart Leads Police On Low-Speed Chase
A low-speed chase in Minnesota involving four police cruisers and a go-cart ended when officers used a Taser to zap the driver three times. St. Paul police said the chase began Tuesday evening when an officer spotted the man driving what appeared to be a homemade go-cart with a lawnmower-sized engine and attempted to pull the vehicle over. The driver refused to stop and three more police cruisers joined the chase, which reached top speeds of 20 mph. The officers eventually cornered the go-cart in a parking lot, where it took two more hits from the Taser to subdue the driver. The man, who refused to give his name, was booked under the name John Doe on suspicion of fleeing police in a motor vehicle
