Last night this car struck a sign on the freeway off ramp and kept driving with its new hood ornament until officers contacted him. It was the driver’s fourth DUI in ten years. Maybe this is the SIGN they’ve been looking for to stop drinking and driving. #AlexCanIGetJailFor200 #IMadeTheAnaheimpdInstagram #Dui #drunkdriver #LookingForASign #hoodornament #JailAgain #arrest #photography
