PF: Had you been drinking?

GM: Once he pulled me over, he asked me if I'd had a drink with my dinner, and I said I did have a beer with my dinner. He said, 'Well listen, I don't think at all that you are intoxicated, but my job is to take you down here--I've got to do my job.' And I understood that.

McGee's version of events indicates it all took place at or near a parking lot, that it had to do with his actions while trying to get out of a parking space. But The Daily Northwestern,  in a January 22, 2007, story titled "McGee Faces DUI, Speeding Charges in Oklahoma," reported:

Northwestern offensive coordinator Garrick McGee was charged last Thursday with driving under the influence and speeding.

Court documents said McGee was stopped on Dec. 24 in Oklahoma.

He is accused of driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor and speeding 16 to 20 miles per hour over the limit. McGee posted a $1,100 bond.

If McGee was charged with driving 16 to 20 mph over the speed limit, he was doing something more than trying to get out of a parking space. In fact, there is no indication that the traffic stop had anything to do with parking. If McGee was stopped partially for speeding, that means he was driving in traffic when an officer stopped him--and wound up having cause to believe McGee was intoxicated.
