While driving to tour colleges with our children, my wife picked up a dvd to entertain the backseat travelers. It was the Best of Candid Camera. Hopefully, many of you will remember that classic show that set spoofs of all kind. One of the funniest may have been the drive-through banking episode. A celebrity would drive their car through the bank wall into the main lobby, claiming to have followed the signs for “drive through service.”

Recently, a Wrecker service made a large withdrawal from the Lafayette Bank & Trust, after two residents took the advertised “24-hour ATM” a bit too literally when they drove up to the machine late Sunday night. The ATM, however, was a walk-up kiosk, and drive-thru service to the bank was most definitely closed – that is until the duo’s car crashed through a window and into the bank at 11:14 p.m. According to the Sheriff’s Office, a 19 driver was attempting to take a corner when he accelerated – over accelerated. The teenager then lost control of his Pontiac Firebird after it fishtailed, jumping the curb and entering the bank through a large front window.

Of course, law enforcement found this car accident caused by an intoxicated driver. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Excessive speed and driving under the influence is no laughing matter.
