"ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Anchorage police say a city van used to pick up drunken people was taken on a joyride by a man suspected of drunken driving.

The Anchorage Daily News reports that 35-year-old Donny H. Weston was arrested late Thursday after police say he got into a Community Service Patrol van parked with the keys in the engine. Police say social workers were attending inebriated people when Weston got into the van.

Police say Weston drove the van for significant distance, including driving against traffic, and he eventually crashed the van into a bus and ditched it.

The van is part of a city program that picks up inebriated people and shuttles them to sleeping center.

Police say the inebriated men in the back of the van didn't notice the joyride."

Many college towns have something similar that runs Friday & Saturday nights between specific areas of town (bars!) and the university housing areas... the kids call it the "Drunk Bus".

I thought maybe it was an Alaska thing. Sometimes the Portland paper links to stories in Alaska papers, and I like to read the comments. Alaska is seemingly full of a rowdy bunch who mostly refuse to be ruled. Smiling

Well, I always figured I'd fit in there, too, except I like being warm too much. Smiling

He must not have been too drunk if he retrieved the keys from within the engine..

How does one go about putting the keys in the engine, through the carburetor?

That's the easiest way. Going in via the exhaust is tricky, since it takes quite a bit of finesse to get it past the muffler and the catalytic converter.

They fit in easier through the oil filler.
