If the bribe of a can of Mountain Dew to a cop seems like the most logical way to get out of a DUI, it's just more proof that you shouldn't have been behind the wheel in the first place...

Of course, don't trying telling that to Luis Rodriguez-Neri in Bernalillo County, AZ, since that was his plan after he got smashed and then smashed into a light pole on Monday.  He was okay, but his lack of sobriety was a little surprising considering he was pretty cool about telling responding officers he'd had six shots of rum before he got behind the wheel and that a breathalyzer didn't seem necessary.

So what did seem necessary?  Making this whole silly incident go away with a sweet deal for police if they were willing to cut him loose.  Literally.  That deal?  A can of Mountain Dew right then, and the chance of even more Mountain Dew in the future!  For some odd reason, county deputies called Luis' deal and raised him one charge of aggravated DWI, one count of leaving a crime scene and, of course, one count of bribing an officer.

Too bad, since people dew amazing things to get the Dew.  Just ask old school Channing Tatum:
