Trooper transports drunk sheriff deputy in K-9 cage

A sheriff's deputy was arrested on a drunk driving charge in northeastern Tennessee. He wound up in a dog house before he was taken to the big house.

The Kingsport Times-News reported the details of a Tennessee Highway Patrol arrest report, which said 47-year-old Samuel Monroe Bledsoe was kicking the windows of a trooper's cruiser on his way to a hospital for a blood test.

The report said Bledsoe was then locked inside the cruiser's K-9 cage for his safety.

Trooper David Osborne said in the report that Bledsoe performed poorly during a field sobriety test even after it was explained to Bledsoe 18 times.

The Sullivan County Sheriff's Office later fired Bledsoe.
