Driving into oncoming traffic approaching the 7-mile bridge with his two kids in the backseat. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/m...

Just before 3:25 p.m., MCSO received the call regarding a vehicle driving recklessly near Mile Marker 40 on U.S. Highway 1 near the Seven Mile Bridge. When deputies responded, they saw the vehicle with Deiseroth behind the wheel and
"driving into oncoming traffic and swerving heavily," MCSO said.
MCSO said the vehicle was stopped near Mile Marker 36.5, where deputies found two children — ages 7 and 9 - inside the vehicle. Deputies also smelled a "strong odor of alcohol" emanating from Deiseroth, who also misidentified his location and gave an erroneous travel direction, the agency added.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today
