Here’s a tale from the Associated Press about a man who apparently ignored officials’ warnings about drinking and driving over the Memorial Day weekend:

POMONA — A man has been arrested for investigation of driving under the influence after hitting a police car outside a Pomona police station, injuring the officer.
Police say 24-year-old Richard Cardoza was booked for felony DUI and is being held on $130,000 bail.
Authorities say Cardoza was driving early Sunday when he ran a red light and his vehicle struck a police car directly in front of a police station. The officer had minor injuries and was treated and released from a hospital.
Cardoza also was taken to a hospital and released.
