FAIRBANKS, Alaska – A motorist confronted by a state trooper said he was stunned when the officer told him the car had been stolen.

Charles J. Schultz explained that he was driving his Chevy Cavalier and everything was fine. That's when the trooper informed Schultz that he was actually behind the wheel of a Ford Escort.

Police charged Schultz with auto theft, felony driving under the influence and misdemeanor drugs misconduct. Police said the 27-year-old's blood-alcohol content was .166, more than twice the legal limit.

It all started when Fairbanks police received a report shortly after midnight Friday that a Ford Escort had been stolen from the parking lot of a gentlemen's club. An officer spotted the stolen Ford two hours later — with Schultz driving.

Schultz swore he had no memory of taking the wrong vehicle outside the club, according to a criminal complaint.

1. How drunk does one have to be to confuse a Ford Escort for a Chevy Cavalier?

:crazy:

2. "stolen from the parking lot of a fairbanks gentlemans club"

That fucking sentence itself is comedy gold. :rofl:

At least we know where Sarah is returning to her day job at...

3. Now we know how Stevens won reelection.

Come to think of it, Stevens' version of his corruption troubles sounds strongly reminiscent of this tale.
