Arrested Man Takes Selfie With Police Officer
A 20-year-old man from Iowa City was arrested for driving under the influence, and he was so excited about it that he decided to share it with everyone on Snapchat. Gilbert Phelps’ photo went viral with the help of the police officer arresting him. The arresting officer stated: “During the testing process the defendant requested to take a Snapchat selfie with me to which I happily obliged.“
Phelps, who is underage, wasn’t arrested for drinking and driving, but was busted by being too high. While the officer said he smelled booze in the car during the arrest around 2:00 AM on Thursday morning, the breathalyzer test didn’t reveal alcohol in his system. It was analyzed by a drug recognition expert and it revealed that Phelps smoked too much to be legally safe to drive in a vehicle.
