Don’t drink and plow.
A New Jersey state worker was caught operating a snow plow with a blood alcohol level nine times the legal limit for commercial drivers — his fourth DWI arrest to date, cops said.
Roger Attieh, 36, failed his BAC test miserably on Monday after being pulled over in Pequannock by local police, according to the Daily Record.
He had been plowing snow for the Department of Transportation — nailing two cars along the way — when he was stopped by cops.
In the first crash, cops said Attieh sideswiped a vehicle, got out to inspect the damage, and then returned to his DOT truck to continue his route. He then hit the second car as he attempted to drive away.
Attieh did all this while also spreading salt on the snow-covered roadways, the Daily Record reports.
Luckily, there were no injuries in either accident.
“NJDOT takes these issues very seriously and the department is fully cooperating with local law enforcement’s investigation,” explained NJDOT Communications Director Steve Schapiro.
“Mr. Attieh is an NJDOT employee and the Department has begun its investigation required for disciplinary action.”
The state worker already has three DWI arrests on his record — with his most recent coming just last month in Denville. He was also busted in 2007 and 2002.
Schapiro declined to comment when asked by the Daily Record about the process of background checks and driving records.
