The DUI Slayer

Don't drink and drive in Huntington Beach, CA or this guy will get you:
YORBA LINDA - Give Officer Tai Huynh a second and he can tell you whether that driver careening across his lane has been drinking or is just on his cell phone.

"If he's on the phone, it'll just be once. It's inattention," Huynh said. "But if he keeps weaving in his lane, it's drinking."

Huynh, an 18-year veteran of the Huntington Beach Police Department, was honored by Mothers Against Drunk Driving on Thursday at the Nixon Library for his 467 DUI arrests in 2007, and got a minute-long standing ovation from 300 of the county's top figures in law enforcement.

His arrest count shattered the Orange County record of 325 DUI arrests set the year before.

Huynh was among 15 officers honored for making more than 100 arrests.

Well done, Officer Huynh.
