Del. Don Dwyer admitted to drinking before a boat crash on Wednesday in Anne Arundel County.
Dwyer, sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a neck brace and a cast on his left foot, made the announcement during a brief press conference on Thursday outside of University of Maryland Hospital in downtown Baltimore, and refused to answer questions from reporters.
"It is true that I was drinking while I was operating my boat yesterday. It's also been reported that my blood alcohol content was .2. No one, no one should be drinking and operating a motor vehicle or power boat," Dwyer said. "I deeply regret my actions and ask for forgiveness from the public."
He would not answer questions from reporters but appeared to confirm his blood alcohol content was above the legal .08 level.
"The information is on the record. So I'm sure you'll find that's what it is," Dwyer said, declining to elaborate.
previously reported nine people were injured, including five children, in the accident, which occurred about 7 p.m. near Gibson Island in the Magothy River.
WBAL-TV reported that Dwyer was on a 26-foot Baja boat named "The Legislator."

Now who remembers Carl Snowden and what happened to him? Does he still work for Gansler after his drug bust?
Two officers said in a charging document that they pulled up in an unmarked car Thursday afternoon, approached a 2010 Honda Pilot with all four windows rolled down, and smelled "a strong odor" of marijuana coming from inside." Did he face the same as Dwyer is?
"Drugs were also found on his passenger, Anthony Hill, who is a registered sex offender. " Fox 45
Patch Pigeons like these guys are weak and cowardice and Patch policy allows the no name shit slingers to commit liable on a fairly regular basis... perhaps Patch should be held accountable for creating this non productive playground for lawbreakers like them. Liable can be serious business, and Patch allows it ...something very wrong with that.. as for the PP poo boys...they struggle every day.

I read the article and just can't believe it. Witness statements completely contradict the notion that Dwyer's boat was hit, rather than the one that did the hitting. And Buck, on an unrelated note, it's libel not liable.
How about this statement from Parrott? "Don indicated that he had been drinking, however, at this point it is unclear whether he alcohol had anything to do with the accident," Parrott wrote.

Parrott would have been better off saying nothing at all.

Obvious held to a different standard than those he represents..... With the powerboat show coming to Annapolis in two weeks, does this mean "Drunk Don" will be back on the water with a larger more powerful boat to speed him and his colleagues across the bay for their afternoon drinking binges?
