Hammered motorist arrested with car full of sheep.
The motorist was driving a Mercedes-Benz Vito at about 23:00 on Wednesday when he was stopped by police.
Blood tests were conducted on him and he was found to have an alcohol content of 1.6g/100ml.
This is 32 times over the limit of 0.05g/100ml.
Five boys and a woman, who were also in the vehicle with 15 sheep allegedly stolen from nearby farms, were also arrested.
Baa. Humbug.

Okay, this isn’t the proper place, but — did Kate make it home? How ’bout the boys? Are you all together yet? I hope so.
I second Dana Jean’s concern.
My thoughts also go out to Snart who’s probably been dealing with the floods in Southern California. Any word on her?
Merry Christmas to all my fellow commenters and Meg-o-philes!
Third here! Oh, and thanks for sharing your English white Christmas, it’s here, too.
Oh no, with this story I’m suddenly overcome by Falkland Island War jokes:
Him: Was it good for you?
Her: Not baaaaaahd.
Falkland Island war bride: Have you seen Jos-eh-eh-eh-eh?
Merry Christmas to all, especially the Midwest Meg Gardiner Reading Club!
Thanks for your concern and good wishes, guys. To answer your question: YES, Kate made it here Wednesday afternoon — 122 hours late, and having gone from San Francisco to Frankfurt to Dublin to London, with multiple diversions and canceled flights and blizzards. But she’s here, safe and warm, and so is her brother, who made it in from New York yesterday. Everybody’s here, and we’re ready to celebrate.
Merry Christmas!
Excellent news. I’ve also got my Christmas Eve game face on.
T-minus 5 hours to the celebration at my parents’ house with all of my brothers and sister and their families. It’s going to be a packed house again this year. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Yay, Meg! Glad your kids are all home safe and sound. Merry Christmas to all of you.
I hope & I trust, everyone has, or is having, a wondefullicious Christmas I must!
May the season of giving is giving you much love and joy…hey you, put that down, your too old for that toy, so please if you would, give it back to that wee boy!
A wish you good company that creates no hum bug type fuss, with much great food without leaving nary a muss…now if you’ll excuse me, I must now find me a good truss.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Who ARE these sheep-stealing people? Love their choice of getaway car…
It can only happen in South Africa. The area is the Eastern Cape not far from my old Alma Mater, Rhodes University in Grahamstown.
Baaaaad part of town?
Would it be safe to say the local farmers got fleeced?
