In a mainly rural county north of Austin, the county sherrif had been to a party and realized he was too drunk to drive so he started walking home, several blocks-probably staggering home is a better term. A city cop nabbed him and threw in city jail. The sherrif had to resign, got a DUI and got hit with a big fine.
I think in the end it was actually politically motivated that he was arrested although this county does have a 'zero tolerance' rule.
