“I do drink&drive!”
Victor Cummings wrote that on his public Facebook account on April 11, 2010.
Cummings, who goes by Vic, was the only Democrat to file for assessor and will appear on the November ballot.
The full post reads: “I do NOT n any way shape or forum support Drunk Driving But….. I do drink&drive!” In the same thread, after a commenter told him he should stop, Cummings responded: “As long as I anit DRUNK driving… Evrythang Gucci!!! Like BuRR!!”
On August 8, 2010, Cummings wrote about watching someone get out of a moving car on Chapin Street. In the comments beneath that post, Cummings wrote that his friend ran off, and his friend could not be located for eight hours. He then wrote that he could not call the police, because doing so would have meant telling the police, in his words, “I was driving drunk & my friend fell out da car and now I can’t find em.”
On November 2, 2010, Election Day, Cummings wrote that he planned to smoke a joint on his way to vote.
