A Sad DWI Arrest In Houston

I am not guilty of DWI!!!I wonder if law enforcement in other jurisdictions are so militant about DWI arrests as they are in Houston, Texas.  An example of how aggressively the police in Houston deal with these types of cases was seen recently when a man was charged for DWI as he drove around the block searching for his missing dog . The dog escaped from his backyard during the 4th of July fireworks celebration.  His wife convinced him that it would be better to get in his car to find y"Fido."  Unfortunately, on the way to retrieving their dog an unsympathetic Officer stops him and proceeds to charge him with DWI despite the fact that he is less than two blocks away from his house.  Luckily, even in Houston anyone charged with DWI is presumed to be innocent and entitled to a trial to determine if they are truly intoxicated when they were driving.
