The expenses were paid - by the taxpayers - only if he attended the job training which he agreed to complete.

So he was drunk on the job that day, and he showed up to work drunk before this.

And, to top it off, it was a MADD event, which shows he is a clown with zero judgement.

Let him get drunk on his own time and on his own dime, not at a job function where taxpayers are footing the bill.

just wrong. first, the event was paid for by MADD (from the article)

MADD required attendance at all training that weekend in exchange for picking up all the expenses of the conference.

second, he was not on duty when he was at the resort. it was his own time where he agreed to attend and receive an award. he probably didn't anticipate the preachy lefty speak he was undoubtedly forced to endure... but everyone has their limit... which is when he and two other deputies walked out.

get over yourself and take a reading comprehension class.
