Sample spillage splashes back on solicitor
A lawyer who was asked to give a urine test after being arrested has landed in a sticky situation after allegedly hurling its contents at the cops.

The Piedmont News Station reported that 35-year-old North Carolina lawyer John Montgomery Holmes Jr allegedly threw the urine at police after a boozy night out.
Hmm, Folklaw is aware of lawyers often wanting to have the last word, but this is taking things a little too far.
Naturally, Holmes’ actions did not go down well with the bar’s owners; he was subsequently arrested and taken to a local hospital to provide a urine sample to determine his blood alcohol reading.
Holmes is accused of throwing the sample in the face of a police officer serving as an escort despite being in handcuffs.
Such alleged stupidity has meant Holmes now faces a litany of charges, including assault on a female, assaulting a government official, intoxicated and disruptive behaviour, resisting a public officer, second degree trespass and malicious conduct by a prisoner.
That is quite a rap sheet for letting the none-too-pleasant genie out of the bottle.
Holmes was released on a $30,000 bond prior to facing court.
