Drunken Jerry Swanson Tried To Trade Vodka For Girl Scout Cookies

[Jaded]

Police in Ardmore arrested 45-year-old Jerry Swanson on Saturday after he tried to barter some Girl Scout Cookies from some Girl Scouts at a local mall.

Swanson’s sweet deal? He allegedly offered some vodka to the girls in exchange for the cookies, according to local station KXII. However, Swanson didn’t actually have any alcohol on him at the time, Ardmore Police Captain Keith Ingle told the Huffington Post.

Bystanders called police because Swanson seemed intoxicated. “He did tell officers he had been drinking all day,” Ingle said.

When officers questioned Swanson, they said he seemed confused and disoriented based on various field sobriety tests.

“He was unsteady on his feet and basically had to place him in the police car and barely able to walk,” Ingle told KXII.

Swanson was taken to the Carter County Jail and booked on a public intoxication charge.

How do they know that he didn't have any vodka on him? Did the girl scouts call his bluff?

They searched him before the po-po showed up. Modern girl scouts, man, they're not messing around.

"Pay up, old man, or I'll send my big brother down here to teach you a lesson!"

He's probably safer in police custody, tbh.

Girl Scouts will cut a bitch for some vodka.
