jeffrey-donovan-mugshotI’m a vehement opponent of drunk driving, but hypothetically, if you ARE going to drive after a few drinks, a good piece of advice is to not screech your tires while swerving to avoid crashing into a cop car.  Unfortunately for “Burn Notice” star Jeffrey Donovan, this advice arrives too late.  Radar has this error-filled fabrication:

After [Donovan] crashed into a Miami Beach Police Cruiser on July 11 around 11:50 pm he refused a breath test.

“I really think I’m only borderline and not too drunk – the only mistake I made tonight was to drink Benadryl with three glasses of wine,” Donovan said on the way to the police station…

“I asked the defendant if he was alright to which he answered – ‘Sorry I didn’t see the red light or your stop car,’’’ the officer [wrote].

Radar also links to the police report, in which the officer claims that Donovan said “stopped car” not “stop car” — and also SAYS NOTHING WHATSOEVER ABOUT A VEHICLE COLLISION.  In fact, it explicitly states that Donovan swerved to avoid hitting the police cruiser.  So the people at Radar are either liars or idiots.  Or, more likely, both.
