Thomas Coyne, the former mayor of Brook Park, Ohio, was found passed out by the side of a stretch of road in North Olmstead early Monday morning, completely naked, reports local newsnet5. The court judged the incident a violation of Coyne’s probation; only last September he was arrested for drunk driving in Westlake after failing two sobriety tests. Subsequently, he had his license suspended for a year, was sentenced to three days in jail, fined $700, and put on two years probation. By checking into the Betty Ford Center, he may avoid jail time for this latest frolic. Earlier Sunday, Coyne and a “companion” had consumed margaritas at dinner until 11 PM.

Police said that he told them that he was home sleeping and that his car was parked downstairs. That clearly wasn’t the case, however. His blood alcohol level reportedly registered three times the legal limit.

In a statement released yesterday, Coyne allowed that “I deeply regret that a personal issue has become so public.” Or pubic. Somewhere, James McGreevey is laughing. Or weeping.
