Drunk newlyweds arrested after smoking

DURHAM, England, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- British police said a couple were arrested on their wedding night for drunkenly arguing with a security guard who asked them not to smoke at a bus stop.

Harry and Claire Arnold were married, had their twin sons christened and celebrated the groom's birthday all in the same day, but the night found them at a Durham, England, police station on charges of drunk and disorderly behavior, the Daily Mail reported.

"The couple had been celebrating, having got married in the morning and having their children christened in the afternoon," a police spokesman said. "They took exception to being asked by a security guard to refrain from smoking inside the bus station. Eventually police were called and they were arrested for being drunk and disorderly."

Claire Arnold said the incident "was a nightmare wedding night. I was crying my eyes out. I was devastated."

"The police told us: 'We've never had a bride and groom in before,'" she said.

The Arnolds said a sergeant took pity on them when he discovered it was their wedding night and let them off with a caution instead of a fine.

Driving teacher allegedly drunk during lesson

NEWBURYPORT, Mass. – A driving instructor who police say was drunk while giving someone a driving lesson can stay out of jail but will lose his license for a year. Daniel Winsky, 53, of Salem was convicted Thursday of operating under the influence while giving a lesson from the passenger seat of a car. He was sentenced to 18 months probation but won't be a licensed driver for one year.

Winsky was not behind the wheel during the December 2007 lesson in Ipswich, but prosecutors say he was in control of the passenger side brakes in the specially-fitted car and also moved the wheel during the lesson.

Police pulled Winsky over shortly after a convenience store clerk smelled alcohol on his breath, then saw him enter the auto school's car. Winsky claimed he was not drunk during the lesson.

The pair could face up to five years in prison for endangering the life of their grandchild.
