Keith Gruber of Swan Lake, New York was an hour-and-a-half late for his 10:30 AM  pretrial felony DWI hearing in Sullivan County Court.

It would have probably been best if the 49-year-old didn’t show up at all.

That’s because Gruber stumbled into the proceeding while swigging on an open can of Busch beer.  Gruber, who has prior DWI convictions, was also carrying four more unopened cans of suds in a bag.

Gruber apologized when Judge Frank Lubada called out Gruber’s “liquid lunch.” Then Lubada revoked Gruber’s bail, and sent him straight to the always-sobering slammer.
