Drunk Man Tries To Buy Gas At Nuclear Power Plant

A highly intoxicated Oak Park man faces several charges after driving up to the Braidwood nuclear power plant in search of gasoline Saturday, police said.

It was the second time in two weeks that a drunken motorist mistakenly pulled up to a security checkpoint at the Braidwood Generating Station. :rofl:

The nuclear power plant, located off Route 129 in Braceville, is about 60 miles southwest of Chicago.

In the earlier incident Oct. 18, Lloyd Kuykendall of Morris drove in and tried to pay a guard, thinking he was at an interstate toll plaza. The 38-year-old man was charged with driving under the influence.

Krista Lopykinski, a spokeswoman for Exelon, which owns the plant, said the two incidents were "unusual" but that the plant's security force handled them properly.

Around 12:30 a.m. Saturday, Stanislaw Drobrzawski, 51, steered his 2000 Ford Explorer past a "No Trespassing" and a 10-foot-wide "Braidwood Generating Station" sign, stopping only when he reached a security checkpoint.

"He thought it was a gas station -- I guess he wanted to pay for gas," said Will County sheriff's spokesman Pat Barry.

Drobrzawski failed a Breathalyzer test, Barry said, and was later charged with DUI and entering a controlled-access area.
