DWI Driver Tries Bribing Cops with Jets Tickets, Cash

2008_10_jetsb.jpgTalk about chutzpah: The NY Post reports a Georgia residents "offered two cops Jet season tickets and $2,000 apiece if they wouldn't arrest him for DWI." Kyeko Henderson was pulled over in Hell's Kitchen, after making an "unsafe and aggressive" left turn from West 44th Street onto Eighth Avenue. When the cops went ahead with arresting him, Henderson "promised...two seasons' worth of Gang Green tickets" (he claims he's related to someone on the team). Now the 23-year-old, whose blood alcohol was almost twice the limit, faces DWI and bribery charges; he told the Post, "I'm just going to get the hell out of New York now."
