I will try to ask my brother about open container in the vehicle. We are in New Orleans, where things are very different! I mean, we have drive thru alcohol places. You just pull up and they hand your daiquiri or mixed drink out the window. Without a straw, so it isn't considered and "open" container. They are on every other block around here. My guess is that he could be charged with having an open container, but not necessarily drinking while driving, because that is a stretch.
I wonder if "media" types heard of the wreck and were showing up, which made him go home. They would certainly be all up in his face! If he called and tried to render aid, he must have felt someone else was in charge/ the victim couldn't be helped by him/ staying would harm him more. Or maybe he had to go to the bathroom lol. Not funny, but I can imagine that stress would tear up a stomach! I just have this feeling that at some point he called his attorney who said to try to prolong it by requiring a warrant. I feel bad for all involved. So many people's lives will be forever changed (including the one that was lost, sadly).
