By FITSNews || Liberal Columbia, S.C. lobbyist Dwight Drake (a.k.a. Chewbacca) was arrested on New Year’s Eve two years ago in Colleton County, S.C. for driving with an open container, a charge which has resurfaced in light of his current bid for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.
News of Drake’s arrest was first published Tuesday by Lowcountry blogger Earl Capps. To read the original story, click here. To view Colleton County’s public record of Drake’s arrest, click here.

You know, though, as much as we detest Drake and the status quo, special interest cabal that he represents (literally), at first blush this really doesn’t seem like that big of a deal. Unless, of course, Drake was really drunk off his wookie ass and somehow used “the Force” to get out of a DUI.
Seriously, it’s not like he killed somebody.
Of course, on second thought …
Nah … it’s still too early in the game for that one …
*haha

Waaay to early in the game for that one, Will.
Nice job procuring the mug shot, though.

I still like Dwight Drake, even more now that he is apparantly truly human.

Everyone loves a politician who seems like a guy you could have a beer with.

I always thought that those of us who were “of age” before the open container law passed are “grandfathered” in.

Like Wil says, this might be DUI that he cut a plea deal on?

“Everyone loves a politician who seems like a guy you could have a beer with.”

sic(k) willie seems to like to post mug shots of others, so we thought his loyal reader might like to see his mug shot from his CDV arrest.
Here it is:
