Drunk diabetic punches police officer

From This is Lancashire in the UK:

Here's an idea: If you're a diabetic, don't pound a whole bottle of Jack Daniel's. Frankly this story is so great, no snarky summary can do it justice.

A POLICE officer who warned a drunken man three times about his behaviour was punched in the face for his trouble.

But as Kevin Barry Murray tried to run away from the scene he was grabbed by a taxi driver who had witnessed the incident.

Blackburn magistrates heard that before he had gone out drinking in Blackburn centre Murray had downed a full bottle of Jack Daniels.

And he later told police he could remember nothing of what had happened after he entered the Liquid Club, St Peter Street, or what happened after he had been ejected.


Claiming you don't remember anything is always a good defense. If I punched a cop and had to pay a fine, though, I'd like to at least remember it.
