Dwi (driving while impaired) is the offense for driving while drunk/high/ on a substance of some sort in NC. But who knows if the guy was breathalyzed or whether the cop decided based on physical symptoms he was exhibiting, and the copt doesnt know what alzheimers symptoms look like.

    I'm not saying the guy was OK to do that cause he might have alzheimers. Shouldn't have been on the road. I'm just also saying wake county cops fall under ACAB, don't take their word for stuff just cause you want to see the guy punished. Raleigh has a pretty weak track record of prosecuting pedestrian/bike hits by cars, even if they threw the book at this one guy (as evidenced by them adding the "crossing the double yellow" charge and $1m bond)
