Police: Drunk Man in ‘This Guy Needs a Beer' Shirt Crashes Car

A New Hampshire man was wearing a shirt expressing his desire for alcohol when police arrested him in a drunk driving crash in front of a police department building.

Police say 29-year-old Joshua Tackett of Seabrook drove his Chevrolet Cruze off Amesbury Road in Kensington just before 9 p.m. Friday.

Tackett was going south when police say he went across the northbound lane, off the road and through a stone wall and a granite post. The car then slammed into a utility pole in front of the Kensington Police Department.

When police arrested Tackett on a DWI charge, he was wearing a T-shirt reading "This guy needs a beer," with two thumbs pointed up at his face.
