Recently in Strange DUIs in Philadelphia:

If you're going to have a few drinks in the town, the best way to avoid getting arrested is to have a designated driver. But while a designated driver may be the best way to avoid arrest, it is no guarantee that you won't still get busted for bad behavior.

This is especially true if you pee in front of a cop and then kick the officer several times.

Erik Jenkinson was allegedly speeding and weaving about his lane when he caused a crash on Interstate 78 in Upper Macungie Township. While his crash was newsworthy, it was his behavior afterwards that made all the headlines.

When Pennsylvania troopers got to the accident scene, Jenkinson allegedly stripped down to his birthday suit, told the cops he loved them, and fled on foot, reports the Sentinel & Enterprise.

A liquor control officer DUI is an ironic arrest. Tyrribea Flood, an employee with the state Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence after she crashed her liquor enforcement vehicle into a stopped car.

Last Thursday, the 39-year-old Flood was driving in Pittsburgh when she rear-ended a stopped car shortly before midnight, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Two police officers were directing traffic nearby and walked over to Flood's car where they found her sobbing.

Sometimes police can spot a drunk driver by erratic lane changes. Other times, police look for someone driving way over, or way under, the speed limit. And in the case of Eric Willis, police suspected a DUI after noticing the man towing a flipped boat.

Willis was visiting Bethany Beach in Delaware and apparently had a bit too much to drink, reports The Republic. After removing his pontoon from the water and towing it at Holts Landing, Willis reportedly hit a parked car and his trailer and boat flipped over.

Before authorities in Philadelphia arrested Yassir Hassan for drunk driving, Middletown Township Lieutenant John Michniewicz said police had received a phone call regarding a Jack & Jill Ice Cream truck that was driving erratically on the road.

"We received information from a passing motorist of an ice cream truck that was all over the roadway on southbound Route 1 from Oxford Valley Road," recalled Michniewicz.

Minutes after the phone call, authorities had Hassan, 46, pulled over and noticed he was clearly intoxicated. 6 ABC News reported police officers later found a couple of wine boxes inside the vehicle upon inspection and were even more surprised to discover at least three water bottles filled with urine.

New York local Brian Mussaw, 28, was recently arrested after allegedly driving a stolen truck drunk at the Philadelphia International Airport and onto Interstate 95. Authorities reported that Mussaw was apparently so eager to get drunk and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this week that he decided to start partaking in the festivities a day early.

Police said Mussaw had been outside the baggage-claim area at the airport when he decided to sneak into the passenger’s door of a Ford F-350 that had a snowplow attached to it. An airport employee had left the automobile running after stepping out to check on a terminal door, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.

Will Philadelphia just shake its head and say "only in California" over this news story? It may have effects that could apply in the Keystone State, so reserve judgment. The Associated Press reports that a man in Soquel, California (south of San Francisco) is planning on offering pot soda as part of the products available at his medical marijuana dispensary.

Clay Butler will offer various flavors of pot soda at the dispensary, all containing the active ingredient in pot, THC. While the AP reports that other marijuana drinks have already arrived on the market, Butler says his "branding savvy" will make his products a hit.

The holidays are over. So what is left for Philadelphians to think about in the midst of a cold January? Cold and flu season, of course. And what, you might ask, does that have to do with a DUI story? Everyone knows that you can be charged with DUI in Philly for driving while under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, but many people do not know that you can also be charged with DUI in Pennsylvania if your driving is impaired by prescription or even over the counter medication.

That is correct, even NyQuil could potentially get you in trouble.

Philadelphia parents may have to keep a closer eye on their kitchen pantries as they cook during the holiday season. Reports from the Georgia Poison Center revealed that many kids are now getting high off of nutmeg. Yes, strangely enough, hundreds of young adults are snorting, smoking, eating, and drinking large quantities of nutmeg just to "get baked."

According to Fox 13 News, a recent YouTube video showed one teenage boy guzzling down an entire bottle of nutmeg followed with a swig of water that was also mixed with the spice. University of Michigan student Kayla Stegall said the unusual "YouTube sensation that's going around" has led many children to smoke nutmeg and "then film the effects after" to confirm whether they were able to get high.

Drunk driving incidents are not entirely uncommon. But it's not often you hear of a man, particularly a Pennsylvania resident, who manages to lose his pants in an attempt to escape police in a DUI scenario.

40-year-old Victor Mercadante was driving his white Impala when he left Middletown on a Saturday evening. According to The Daily Delco, the Brookhaven local sped through a stop sign and drove onto Willard Vaughan's lawn, then slammed into a tree and hit the front porch of the 76-year-old's house.
