Pulling a Triple and a DUI to boot!

I just got back from my trip with google through the land of DUI news and came up with a gem posted at kgw.com. The full text follows:

RIDGEFIELD, Wash. -- A semi-truck driver from Portland hauling three trailers was arrested for drunk driving Sunday night, police said.
Steven Spears, 40, was stopped at the Port of Entry in Ridgefield, Wash. after police noticed the length of the trailers he was pulling was over the legal limit.
Then, the officer detected the smell of alcohol and asked Spears to take a breath test, according to trooper Corey Turner with Washington State Police.
“The test confirmed that his blood alcohol was over the legal limit of .04 BAC for an operator of a commercial vehicle,” Turner said.
Last month, Turner said six commercial truck drivers were arrested and or placed out of service at the Ridgefield Port of Entry after officers discovered they were driving under the influence of alcohol.
As for the trailer infraction, Turner said Spears was driving a 2000 Freightliner semi-truck with an illegal combination of three trailers.
Washington law limits a semi to pull up to two trailers, and limits the length of the trailers to 68 feet with a special permit.
“Mr. Spears’ vehicle combination was in excess of 80 feet, and weighed over 91,300 pounds,” Turner said.
The truck was registered to Central Freight Lines Inc. of Waco Texas.
