Mark Brannon, whose family says he blacked out as he was driving, allegedly told the deputy he was sick and in need of medical help. But instead of getting medical assistance, Brannon -- who does take pain medication -- was arrested for DUI.Seems to me if a man says he's sick, the correct first response is to get medical help--especially if the breath test comes back negative.
If the guy was endangering the public because he was drugged up while driving there are ways of dealing with that--but not before getting his condition treated--which you'd think would be necessary if you wanted to prove that anyway.
But what do I know--it's not like I'm a qualified professional like a doctor or an "Only One."
