Policeman very impressed by drunk driver's 'I served' bumper sticker

Filed · 1533

STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. — Sheriff’s Deputy Beau Quarles says he was “really impressed” with a local veteran’s "I served" bumper sticker, later calling it “humbling,” “eye-opening,” and “a damn shame I had to taze [the driver] so many times," sources confirmed today.

Quarles was first alerted to the bumper sticker by a civilian complaint of a driver swerving erratically along State Route 110 around midnight Friday night. Arriving at the scene, Quarles identified a blue Ford F-150 half-parked between the shoulder and far-right lanes of the highway. Both the interior and exterior lights were on when Quarles approached, and the driver’s door was cracked open.

“I shone my flashlight toward the vehicle, and that’s when I saw it,” Quarles told reporters. “It had the words ‘I Served’ in big white letters, superimposed over the outline of Afghanistan, with a black, red, and green background.”
