According to CT State Police, a Norwich man was arrested early Sunday morning after allegedly speeding at over 130 mph while intoxicated. Logan Mirmozaffari, 28, was reportedly pulled over on I-395 southbound near exit 11 after a Trooper observed his excessive speed during routine enforcement.

When asked about his erratic driving, Mirmozaffari allegedly explained that he was in a hurry to get home to see his cat.

Upon making contact with Mirmozaffari, authorities reportedly noticed signs of impairment. He allegedly had glassy eyes, slurred speech, and smelled strongly of alcohol. Despite these signs, Mirmozaffari agreed to a field sobriety test, which he allegedly failed. He was arrested and taken to Troop E in Montville, where he was processed on charges related to his reckless behavior.

While it is unclear if Mirmozaffari’s cat was in any danger, his alleged decision to drive while drunk at such high speeds reportedly put others at risk.

Charges:

  • Illegal Operation of a Motor Vehicle Under the Influence of Alcohol/Drugs (CGS 14-227a)
  • Reckless Driving (CGS 14-222)

One has to wonder: does this cat really need Logan’s company that badly? Cats are notoriously independent creatures, known for their “I’ll love you on my own terms” attitude. If I'm that kind of cat, I'm in no mood to see that face tearing up the driveway stinking of white zinfandel (no doubt what he was drinking, allegedly). 

Or maybe this cat has developed an unexpected case of separation anxiety, desperately awaiting its human’s return? Maybe it’s pacing around, giving its best "I'm fur-real worried" look, waiting by the window, meowing loudly for attention. After all, we all know cats can act aloof, but that doesn’t mean they don’t care—maybe this one just wants to purrsonally ensure Logan gets home safe.

Either way, one thing’s for sure: Logan’s cat was in a rush to see him, but at 130 mph, it’s hard to say who needs whom more—though we’d guess the cat is probably happier hanging out solo than dealing with the drama of a DUI.

This is going to be a tough one to live down. If I were in this situation, I'd be catatonic. 

P.S. Not the real cat, this cat is straight from central casting.
