“I don’t remember. I was at home. I went to an AA meeting and all of a sudden I’m doing cocaine and drinking and smoking weed,” he confesses in the video.
“So you were using all kinds of drugs and went through a gate?” asks a police officer. “Yes, and I crashed my car,” the Mustang owner responded.
The confused driver asked “what happened?” just moments after being handcuffed. “What is my car doing there?” he muttered as the police placed him in the back seat of a squad car.
