[ > [@](#): > > Justin Canuto was seen driving southbound in the northbound lanes of U.S. 550 on Sunday night, [url= [http://bit.ly/A49JSx](http://bit.ly/A49JSx)]the Farmington Daily Times reported]([http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US\_DRUNKEN\_DRIVING\_HOGTIED?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2012-01-18-21-26-33](http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_DRUNKEN_DRIVING_HOGTIED?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2012-01-18-21-26-33)). The 22-year-old pulled over next to a convenience store where he was confronted by several witnesses who had followed him into the store’s parking lot. > > Canuto became belligerent and tried to run away, prompting another man to tackle and hogtie him before sheriff’s deputies arrived, San Juan County Sheriff’s Sgt. Al Jamison said. Canuto was later charged with drunken driving. > > “They were all very adamant that they wanted something to happen,” Jamison said of the witnesses. If I had a hat, I’d doff it in honor of these folks. Would it be gauche to buy them a drink? I could be the DD for the evening. ---

As I understand it, mining is a significant industry in the Farmington area. Justin’s lucky they didn’t take it a step further and drive over to one of the local quarries and…you know. ---
