So just imagine you're a Washington State Patrol officer in Kitsap County. You're working in the office and all of a sudden you hear a crash, and you go outside to investigate and lo and behold. A vehicle has crashed into the side of your office taking out your heat pump system and either by accident or design, has managed to crash just below a banner on the wall warning drivers to pay attention and drive sober. (Yes, I know, It's ironical.)

according to Fox13Seattle .com,
A driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI) after crashing into the Washington State Patrol's (WSP) Bremerton District Office in Kitsap County, according to Trooper Katherine Weatherwax.’ 

The unnamed suspect was taken to the hospital for observation. And medical evaluation.  

The unfortunate part of this story, from my point of view, is that we still have people driving impaired and not realizing that they should just either get a ride home or sleep it off in the car. 

The arresting officer, Trooper Weatherwax. Posted a photo of the accident scene on her official X account. (really, official X account) which I'm sure in short order will turn into the meme of the week.

Needless to say, if you decide to tie one on, make some plans. A designated driver, An Uber, Or just ride the bus. 

No word so far on how the arrested individual is doing.  

I'm sure that they have had better nights.
