I kinda think he's seem a little more sane, or controlled. In years past, there probably would have been a confrontation during that stop. According to the officer's report, he complied with all commands and was very respectful .
I haven't been able to find what his BAC was, but I can't say I've never been behind the wheel with a few in me. As for the coke, we all have our vices, some people just get caught.
