Cops Say Paul Pierce Not Drunk Enough
Posted Aug 3rd 2008 10:41AM by TMZ Staff

Now we're learning cops believed Boston Celtic Paul Pierce was under the influence of alcohol after stopping him because they smelled alcohol on his breath.

As we first reported, Pierce was pulled over at 3:30 this morning after he was "driving erratically." Cops now tell us he had made an illegal lane change without signaling in his white BMW when officers in a paddy wagon spotted him.

We're told they smelled "alcohol coming from the car." We're also told the breathalyzer showed Pierce had alcohol in his system but was below .08, which means you're legally drunk in Vegas.

The pic shows Pierce at the scene.

As for why he wasn't cited for an illegal lane change or erratic driving, cops say it was a minor offense so they let him skate.

I wonder how he got off with nothing though... My guess is that after he got out of the car he fell down and pretended like he was hurt and was then carted to the hospital on a wheelchair... Either that or he Paul Pierced one of of the officers... If you know what I mean.

Okay in all honesty though. Melo was suspended for the first two games of 2008-2009 for his DUI, Pierce should get the same sentence from the Commish.

You are not the sharpest tool in the shed, huh?

No sir, I don't live in a shed.

But what part about "he was "driving erratically." Cops now tell us he had made an illegal lane change without signaling in his white BMW when officers in a paddy wagon spotted him." don't you understand?

A normal person would still have gotten ticketed for an illegal lane change, which begs the question what tomfoolery did Pierce use to get out of the situation?

Erratic driving = Unsafe driving = Potentially deadly driving (although all driving is potentially deadly, Pierce just increases the odds of something bad happening when he drives like an idiot)
