Man Getting DUI, High-Fives Cop

DateTuesday, March 6, 2012 at 7:35AM

A central Pennsylvania man thanked and tried to high-five the officer who flagged him down for driving without his light, but then was arrested on a drunken driving charge.

The Altoona Mirror newspaper reports that Gerald Decker was driving early Feb. 19 when a Tyrone officer noticed that Decker's car didn't have its lights on and flagged him down.

Officer Adam Bonsell says Decker told him, "Thanks, buddy," and tried to high-five him. Bonsell told him, "That's not how it works" and gave Decker field sobriety tests.

Police say Decker's blood-alcohol content was 2 1/2 times the legal limit for drivers.

The charges were recently mailed to Decker.

Online court records don't list an attorney for the 27-year-old Decker of Tyrone. His phone number isn't listed.
