Pilot arrested for drunken flying and bad landing

After Greg Anderson crash landed his Cessna 182 at the Santa Maria Airport yesterday, authorities thought the pilot seemed a bit off. Of course, after a airfield sobriety test was administered to Anderson, the fella came up a bit over the legal limit to operate a motor vehicle under California law. Fortunately no one was with Anderson in the aircraft at the time of his nose-down landing that ended up shearing off the aircraft's nose gear. Can you get a FUI in California?

Awesome! I had just fueled my 152 at Space Coast and was about to key up ground for taxi at Santa Maria when this guy landed hard on the nose gear and then porpoised five or six times ultimately collapsing the nose gear. Didn't know he was drunk but it doesn't surprise me.
