Is there such thing as legal paraphernalia? We’re the illegal prescription drugs his wife’s? She did just have a broken leg. We’re his previous DUI from over a decade ago? Granted open container makes him not very bright, but maybe having lost your home in a fire that morning caused him to go stupid! If he got a haircut and shave he would look like a typical Iowa hick…
