James Cooper is facing the painfully sobering effects of running into President Joe Biden’s motorcade while drunk. According to the New York Post, Cooper has officially been charged with a DUI for the crash. Unfortunately for Cooper, he’s also been hit with an inattentive driving charge. As a result, officials took Cooper into custody on Sunday but released him shortly after. Cooper is set to appear in court at an unspecified future date. It’s unclear if Cooper plans to address the incident publicly or to the media.

However, new layers of the crash have emerged. As Fox News reported, Cooper crashed into Biden’s motorcade shortly after the president and first lady had enjoyed a meal with their campaign staff, who are planning his re-election efforts. Fortunately, officials seem sound in their opinion that Cooper accidentally ran into President Joe Biden’s motorcade. “Following our investigation, Wilmington Police have determined that this was an accidental collision, and have charged the driver of the striking vehicle — a 46-year-old Wilmington man — with Driving a Vehicle Under the Influence of Alcohol and Inattentive Driving,” said David Karas, the director of the Wilmington Police Department Communications to CNN.
