Details Emerge On Glasgow DUI
MLive has an ARTICLE giving further details on Graham Glasgow's Ides of March DUI arrest. According to the report, he had a 0.13% BAC, and claimed that he had had 5 Natty Lights that evening.
Glasgow, 21 of Ann Arbor, was driving a white Chevrolet Suburban SUV on William when Officer Pat Maguire observed a woman, Alexa Dannemiller, hanging out of the front passenger window.
“As the vehicle turned, Maguire saw that there was a white female hanging from the front passenger side window,” the report stated. “She was sitting on the lap of another passenger who was in the same seat.”
Dannemiller, a Univeristy of Michigan volleyball player, was screaming at pedestrians and not wearing a seatbelt so Maguire began following the vehicle, according to the report.
He said the rear tailgate to the SUV was open and, as Glasgow continued driving, it started to open more and more with items coming out of the trunk. Eventually, the falling items started to obscure the license plate and Maguire initiated a traffic stop.
Needless to say, 0.13% BAC (i) raises a serious safety issue, and (ii) probably takes someone Glasgow's size more than five Natty Lights to achieve (although he would not be the first or the last to fib about how many drinks he had when pulled over on a night out). I'm in the camp that believes that drinking and driving is very serious, but also recognize that college kids do such things. It's probably worth noting that with the rolling party going on in the SUV Glasgow was driving, it seems like a blessing in disguise that the police intervened before anyone got hurt. One incident doesn't make a pattern, but I hope Glasgow uses this as a wake-up call and never gets behind the wheel again impaired. (All of this assumes the police report is accurate, of course.)
I suspect Glasgow will get typical first offender punishments from the judge after pleaing the case out, based on his lawyer's assertion that he expects this to be resolved quickly. And I'm sure that the dorm viking crowd will be appalled at whatever punishments the Michigan staff doles out (IIRC, it stands now at some Spring Practice suspension and missing Appy State).

Lexi still hasn't played. Seems to be a much greater punishment than Glasgow. No word from the coach whether she will play this year or not.
“At this time, he opened the rear tailgate, revealing two white females attempting to hide with their faces buried,” the report stated."
Apparently, they subscribe to the theory that that if they couldn't see anything, it meant they were invisible. My daughter used to do this when she was six.
That I was not protected from monsters and murderers when I got under my covers in bed?? This is disappointing.
A drunken threesome in the front seat of a Suburban? Graham, you're not in Illinois any more.
Sounds I should go there.
Yes, yes you should. It's frontseat 3-ways every day here.
Nice. I don't even have to be .13 drunk to sign up for that. Do you have a Suburban I can borrow, or do they rent them there? I'm not sure my Prius is set up for frontseat 3-ways.
A couple weeks of hot yoga and you'll be limber enough.
I know you're joking but I'll indulge here. My wife does hot yoga, and twice I've been convinced to tag along. Why I went a second time I may never know, but it's hell on earth. Honestly the worst thing I've ever done. Absolutely awful. There is not a single other 90 minute period in my life that has gone more slowly than that. If a gunmen had run into the studio and told everyone to get on the ground, I would have jumped into the air and happily taken the bullets.
but you scored some valuable points with the missus, I bet.
"There is not a single other 90 minute period in my life that has gone more slowly than that." describes a good number of my wife's family events I've gone to. To be fair, she also feels the same way about many of my family gatherings.
I believe that you really believe what you say.

in my youth. Just dumb, but you're young and invincible and "not doing anything wrong".
Hard lessons are hard sometimes, I got lucky.
given. They may not have been pulled over.
Man I feel old. I'm old enough to be here ruggedly handsome older brother from an earlier marriage!
Did you guys hear that Mitch McGary helped smoke a joint? He is the worst.
Just jab a rusty spoon in my eyeball.
was able to pick out the operator of that random Suburban as intoxicated.... Crack police work there! If only we had a documented hood-slide we'd really have something.
And frankly I don't even understand why college kids even need cars at all. Pretty much anything you'd want (including bars) are within walking distance of campus.
Well that's not true. Although I agree most things don't require a car, I still used mine. Did you ever cook while you were in college? Or buy toilet paper? You need to get to the grocery store for that. Sure, there's Village Corner, but buying real groceries there was expensive, and walking with said groceries could be a tall task depending on where you lived. We also did things off campus on occasion, like catch a Tigers game, go to the movies, take a girl out for dinner, etc.
Village Corner has been gone for a while.
Well that's a bummer. As you can see I don't do much grocery shopping on campus anymore.
Yes, no college kid has never needed to leave a campus at any point
It's a Suburban. We don't know what year. What we do know is that the tailgate aparently won't stay up so that may tell you something.
He probably had five Natty Daddy's instead he meant to say. About 5 of those will get you to a .13
Nothing will ever beat the Kevin Grady DUI arrest.

I guess if you had to get a DUI that's the way. Way better than passing out in your car to be woken by a cop tapping on your window. Or going out of your lane or off the road and hurting someone.
No doubt. But I just want to remind everyone that I'm sure all of us have done dumb things from time to time, especially while in college (although, debatably, maybe not that dumb). Let us remember what a wise man once said: "those that live in glass cielings shouldn't throw the first eggs."
of a terrific kid who was just being a kid (16) with his buddies when they drove drunk. Their kid was killed and they've never recovered, nor has the older brother. No one thinks about pointing fingers, just the promising life that was cut short and the family that has to go on without him. They probably feel even worse thinking that somehow they're at fault by not keeping him from doing dumb things, when they probably did the same at his age, but lucked out.
Nothing against kids being kids. But it isn't being high and mighty and throwing things at glass things to say that somehow we have to teach kids that they're not immortal and that some dumb things can be irreversible.
Fortunately I don't know anyone whose kids just being kids killed someone else.
Glasgow puts his life and other in danger and gets essentially a one-game suspension. Mitch M smokes a joint or two and gets a season. Yeah, that makes sense.
Dude....over time, this guy drank alot.
Really dumb.
Given that he said he had been drinking since 3 (and it was about 8:30 PM when he was pulled over from what I think I read above) and his BAC of 0.13, it is tough to believe that he had only 5 Natty Light beers.
Unless a beer to him is served in a pitcher, or Natty Light now comes as 16 oz. malt liquor.
You can get 40s of Natty Light, just saying.
Catheter and a piss bag strapped to his leg.
It's what we all have to look forward to if we get old enough.
That kinda got dark.
He should be suspended one game for the DUI and another game for being really stupid.
Drunk driving is beyond stupid, especially in a place like A2 where you can walk anywhere you need, but I guess I'm just getting too old to get bent out of shape. He deserves a proper punishment and he'll get it, but trying to divine anything more from (what I hope) will be an isolated incident seems unnecessary.
See? Women ruin everything.
I am not going to defend him, so please don't neg. All I am saying is that everyone on the board has done something stupid, and they probably took their punnishment and learned from it. Glasgow should feel lucky that the worst thing that happened was, well, a game suspension and some back breaking work NOT a homicide. While I agree drunk driving is about as bad as it gets, I don't think he's a bad guy, just a stupid, terrible mistake.
Do it again, however, and he's on the shit list.
