Heading: Spanish Class Incident

Text: From November 28 through December 9, 1988, McKnight attended a Spanish-language class at the Training Academy. One night, after one of these classes, McKnight drove his patrol car to a coin-operated, self-help laundromat. He drank alcoholic beverages while he washed and dried his clothes, and he got drunk. Eventually, he left the laundromat and drove his patrol car to a Texaco service station in Pearl. The service-station attendant testified that McKnight was too drunk to find or make his way back to the Academy. The attendant had to help McKnight walk into the service station and make a telephone call to the Academy. Two fellow patrolmen, who were also attending the Academy, drove to the station to pick McKnight up and escort him home. The patrolmen testified that they would not let him drive in view of his inebriated condition.
