The Luck of the Irish ran out: man charged with
DWI by St. Mary's deputy after St. Patty's Day partying

CALIFORNIA ---  Where, oh where did McKalvia imbibe?  Was it over at Solomon's where such responsible establishments such as Catamarans spend so much time and effort at keeping patrons from becoming intoxicated?  Or ABC Liquors where great  care is taken to be sure that everyone leaving this bar never drives away while drunk?  While you might doubt the efforts of these two local party places at preventing drunk driving, you shouldn't doubt the ability of those who wish to show their loyalty to becoming saturated with booze tinted with green beer. 
Various police agencies throughout Southern Maryland set up sobriety checkpoints for determining if drivers were intoxicated as they made their way on local roadways on St. Patrick's Day. 
St. Mary's Sheriff's Sgt. Eric Sweeney reports that just after midnight, at approximately 0210 hours, Deputy Timothy D. Reese
initiated a traffic stop on Three Notch Road in California.  The driver was identified as David Brian McKalvia, 38, of California.  Dep.
Reese detected an odor of an alcoholic beverage on the breath of McKalvia.  McKalvia failed to satisfactorily complete field sobriety tests and was subsequently placed under arrest and charged with Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol.
