Pirate1974 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Somebody's packing and gets busted for DWI ************************************** The Charlotte Observer (December 5) -A retired Gastonia fire captain driving in the city's annual Christmas parade Sunday was charged with driving while impaired and carrying a concealed gun after he ran over a spectator's foot, police said. Van Michael Johnson, 59, of the 100 block of Windsong Court, also was charged with resisting a public officer and carrying a weapon during a parade. Police said Johnson struggled when they stopped him after the hit-and-run. According to an arrest warrant, Johnson blew a .22, almost three times the .08 legal limit. Officers also confiscated a .22 Magnum pistol from Johnson. Johnson, who retired Feb. 1, 1995, was driving a 1965 Corvette in the parade, police said. Johnson couldn't be reached for comment. ****************************************************** Gastonia is just west of Charlotte and is a true redneck cultural center.
