The New Orleans Office of Business and External Services Director Peter Bowen was arrested Thursday night on suspicion of drunk driving.

According to jail records, Bowen was arrested on five charges.

He is accused of criminal damage to property, driving while drunk, reckless driving, driving on a roadway laned for traffic, and no proof of car insurance.

Bowen oversees the city's office of code enforcement.

Bowen was also one of the faces of the city's enforcement of coronavirus restrictions during the height of the pandemic.

What is the Office of Business and External Services and what does its director do? And how does the director of business and external services get the power to oversee the city's office of code enforcement? And how does the same person get the authority to handle enforcement of coronavirus restrictions?

I'd estimate that most drivers in New Orleans are drunk at any point during the day.

Why doesn’t he have a city vehicle?

Couldn’t have happened to a better person.

If only he would have ran over LaToya

A lot of the traffic ordinances are worded in the positive, and then you have general statutes at the end of each section listing the punishments for violation. Though it does read weird (and is a pain in the arse the deal with).

***
§79. Driving on roadway laned for traffic

Whenever any roadway has been divided into two or more clearly marked lanes for traffic, the following rules, in addition to all others consistent herewith, shall apply.

(1) A vehicle shall be driven as nearly as practicable entirely within a single lane and shall not be moved from such lane until the driver has first ascertained that such movement can be made with safety.

(2) The department may erect signs directing slow moving traffic to use a designated lane or designating those lanes to be used by traffic moving in a particular direction, and drivers of vehicles shall obey the directions of such signs.

Acts 1962, No. 310, §1.
