Bartender Fired For Calling Cops On Drunk Driver

I would hope every bartender would have the decency to try to prevent drunk drivers from getting on the road, but a bartender in Ohio was actually fired for it. 

Twyla DeVito was working at the American Legion Post in Shelby, Ohio when she saw a drunk bar patron climbing into his car to drive off. She called the cops on the man who was later arrested, blowing a .167 on the breathalyzer.. over twice the legal limit!

Mic Hubbard, a commander at the Legion, stated that, "If every patron who comes in here has to worry about the cops waiting for them when they leave, the place would be empty."

It's good to know he cares about making a few bucks rather than keeping people safe. In 2010, 211 children killed in drunk driving accidents. And on average, 27 people die EVERY DAY in America due to drunk driving. The attitude that justifies Twyla DeVito losing her job is an attitude that gets people killed.

I for one feel safer know that there are bartenders like Twyla out there helping keep raod
