Reported by Parker Police

NERVOUS? I'M NOT NERVOUS
An officer pulled over a motorist for speeding and driving the wrong way on the 9500 block of Parker Road at about 1 a.m. July 6. The driver, a 25-year-old Atlanta, Ga., man, handed the officer an out-of-state driver's license, but when asked for his insurance and vehicle registration, presented his college ID card. The driver smelled of alcohol and his eyes were bloodshot and watery. After telling the officer he had not consumed any alcoholic beverages, the officer asked him again how much he had to drink. The driver replied, "I'm just nervous, like you." When asked why he was so nervous, he said, "I'm not nervous at all." The officer then asked him several medical screening questions, to which he replied, "I am nervous, sir" to all of them. He was arrested on suspicion of DUI. The driver later said he was disappointed with the officer, saying the arrest should look good for his "numbers." He then cussed at the officer, saying, "I am a (expletive) college graduate. You are (expletive) me with some (expletive)." He later said the officers treated him like a criminal.
