CRJS420 DB1
The Scenario:
A Police Sergeant and his driver are on an assignment. After they complete the assignment (someone fell and an ambulance needed to be called), the Sgt takes the police officer (driver) out to lunch and he orders beers for them to go with their lunch. The Driver (Police Officer is still on probation
- less than 1 year on the job) and he protests to the beer....but the Sgt says "don't worry about it - you're with me". After three beers, the Sgt says it's time to go... now both of them have been drinking and are about to get into the police car.
