Florida cop takes irony to new heights

Seems when Pinellas County Sheriff’s Deputy Mike Szeliga showed up to get his award from MADD last month for bagging 100 impaired drivers, there was a wee problem. Yup, Deputy Mike was too shit-faced to accept the award!

Not only that, but he apparently skipped out on some mandatory training to play “the cornhole bean bag game” by the pool.

Huh? If that’s anything like what it sounds like, I’m not sure they should be playing it poolside at the Hyatt Regency. I know we’re well into the 21st century and all, but by golly, I would have thought the management would have said something.

Anyway, all’s well that ends well. Deputy Mike claimed he only had “two or three” drinks… wonder where he’s heard that one before? And in spite of a 274 page report which cast more than a little doubt on that claim, he has been promoted to Detective!
