Only in Louisiana

I was sitting peacefully at my desk on June 17 finishing up a few things and getting ready to call it a day when … I heard a HUGE crash outside my window and saw a big plume of smoke and debris fly toward our unit. I ran out to see what happened (because that was the smart thing to do, right?) and found a drunk man who stole a cab and crashed it into the building across the street. He was so inebriated that he kept falling down as he tried to run away. Several witnesses kept him in place until the apartment staff and the police arrived. Thankfully no one was hurt but the exterior of the building is in bad shape. Luckily that unit he hit is unoccupied at the time of the incident.

True story. Only in Louisiana!
