Deconstructing a Steamroller DWI

Ronald_rollerLast fall, police in Pflugerville, TX say they saw a steamroller weaving along a road at 4am, and then they arrested the driver, Ronald Howell (pictured) for drunk driving.  Wow, right?  Wouldn't it be amazing if there was video of it?  

There is now.

Steamroller_dwiHowell, 32, allegedly failed field sobriety tests and  told cops he'd been heading home from both a tavern and a nightclub when he jacked the "Dynapac Vibrator Roller" from a construction site.

His explanation? It was cold outside and he wanted to get home quickly.

Instead of telling Howell to invest in a sweater and giving him a lift home, police gave him a ride to jail, where he was arrested for driving with an invalid license and felony theft for swiping the roller, which is valued at $180,000.
