Johnny Hoggard and George Gardner Arrested for Drunk Driving, Sept. 24, 1926

Drunk While Driving, Two Are Arrested

Chief of Police W. B. Daniel and Deputy Sheriff Luther Peel were called out on the Everetts road, near the Fair Grounds Wednesday, where they found a Ford car in which Johnny Hoggard and George Gardner were riding.

Hoggard, who had been driving, was rumpled up under the steering wheel asleep, while Gardner, who was just as drunk as Hoggard but not asleep, was bending over to the left, steering the machine along the best a drunken man could do at a bad chance. Two bottles of liquor were found in the car.

The occupants were arrested and brought to the jail here.
