SPRINGFIELD, Vt. -Police said a Massachusetts man headed to a Vermont prison to serve a two-day sentence for driving under the influence was intoxicated when he drove himself to prison.

Vermont State Police say that staff at the Southern State Correctional Facility in Springfield noticed that a 42-year-old man was intoxicated when he arrived late Tuesday afternoon and that he had driven himself there.

So prison staff called police.

Police said the man was then processed for DUI second offense and released back into the custody of the Department of Corrections.

The man was due to appear in court later this month on the latest charge.

I think the cops are the ones who dropped the ball on this one. If this guy was driving around all lamped up and then offered to bring himself to the prison for a sleepover I would openly assume he would get drunk before going up there. Noone wants to spend a night in jail sober and this guy obviously doesn't with having a few drinks before he sets sail. The cops should have done him a solid and rounded him up. Would that have really been that hard?
