The N&R and the Burlington Times-News report that former state Rep. Cary Allred –currently waging a write-in campaign for Alamance County commissioner — has been charged with DWI. Allred maintains he was not drunk and the charge is yet another instance of police harassment.

The strange part of the story is police were looking for Allred earlier in the evening when someone complained about his two dogs sitting inside his car parked outside Skid’s restaurant. Police looked for Allred in Skid’s before finding him across the street at La Fiesta’s.

This is Allred’s third reckless driving incident in just over a year, second involving alcohol —- remember his 102-mile-an hour cruise down I-40 after a Chelata?
