Collin County, TX. (CBS DALLAS) – A Texas man drunkenly drove his race car to a convenience store, where authorities say he attempted to shoplift items and then drive off on the beer-laden car.
Michael Mosty, 37, was charged with public intoxication and possession of a prohibited beverage after Collin County Sheriff’s deputies said he failed to shoplift items from the Exxon store on Saturday, WFAA-TV reports.
When deputies arrived, Mosty was being held with the items he allegedly attempted to steal, along with his race car, parked sideways outside – with three cans of Keystone Light beer stuffed into the cool suit cooler in a Walmart bag.
Collin County Sheriff Joe Schmoe said Mosty will likely face additional charges for the incident.
But convenience store items were not the only things that Mosty allegedly took Saturday evening – the race car was also not his. Harris said that the car was returned to its rightful owner (Mosty’s wife) and had declined to press charges against her husband.
Mosty, of Richardson, received the two charges for not only being drunk, but also hiding the three cans of Keystone Light in the cool suit. NASA CCR regulations specically prohibit alcohol to be consumed while operating a competition vehicle…
“This is all very, very sad”, stated Mosty. “I was in a depressive mood ever since Bryan Leinart failed to ski across the turtle pond at our Summer Shootout at the Hallett Motor Racing Circuit”.
Bryan Leinart has been known for his on and off track antics ranging from trying to order take-out during a race at the Hallett Café as well as wake boarding on a cooler lid during a rainstorm at a previous NASA event. Mosty failed to comment on whether the cooler lid Leinart was using for wake boarding belonged to him and once housed Keystone Light.
