PAPILLION, Neb. – Authorities said a 30-year-old-man showed up so drunk for his sentencing for drunken driving that he missed his hearing and now faces even more time behind bars. Authorities said Jason Botos was driven to the Papillion courthouse on Thursday by his father, who needed help from deputies to get his son out of the vehicle.
Prosecutor Ben Perlman said Botos was so drunk he couldn't attend the hearing, so the judge issued a warrant. Deputies arrested Botos in the parking lot.
Another hearing is set for Tuesday. A jail spokeswoman said Botos remained in custody Friday. Botos' attorney didn't immediately return a call.
Botos had pleaded guilty to misdemeanor drunken driving in a September 2009 collision with five other vehicles.
