Drunk Man Calls Police to Help Him Out of Bar


Filed at 9:11 p.m. ET
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Drunk in a bar and can't get out, who you gonna call? Police. That's what Todd Fitzwater did in Lexington. WLEX-TV reported Fitzwater called 911 Thursday and said he'd gotten drunk and passed out at Todd's Karaoke Bar the night before, awakened and had a few more -- then couldn't get out of the bar, which was closed.
Officers tapped on the door Thursday afternoon to guide the 45-year-old Fitzwater to it so he could let them in to help him.
The bar owner said Fitzwater is a ''regular'' who lives nearby. The barkeep stayed with him until 7:30 a.m. Thursday, then left figuring Fitzwater would eventually let himself out and go home.

Picture this at the Blarney Castle. The shelves would be empty by morning.

Usually the Karaoke in the Blarney is enough to make you leave on your own

The Blarney version of the story has the regular's calling 911 to let them in at 7:30AM.

Sounds similar to a story Eddie told me about Fleury Batt's - minus the police.
