James A. Stephenson, a 62 year-old King County, WA resident, was arrested for suspicion of Seattle DUI after driving down a city street with a flat tire and another tire completely missing on his Porsche 911. As you will read below, apparently, Mr. Stephenson was pretty out of it at the time that police caught up with him.

He was pulled over by a Washington State Trooper after he spotted the car and heard the grinding noise it was producing. Mr. Stephenson was confused when approached by the officer, thinking that he was a mechanic. He was under the impression that his transmission was the problem, and not the missing tire.

The Trooper immediately suspected that Mr. Stephenson was in a state of Seattle DUI upon initial contact. After the Trooper pointed out the real problem to Mr. Stephenson, he reportedly told the officer that the Porsche had been fine when he left a friend’s house earlier.
