Workers at Dodge Dart plant admit to drinking on the job

If your new 2013 Dart smells like a bar inside... you may want to check for missing nuts and bolts that were left off as it rolled off the production line:

Workers at Dodge Dart plant admit to drinking on the job

Chrysler’s plant workers are at it again. Following three previous incidents of drinking on the job, another Chrysler factory worker has admitted to boozing on the clock.

Brian D. Ahlert, a 41-year-old plant worker at Chrysler’s Belvidere, Illinois factory, was pulled over on Saturday at about 8pm just outside of Janesville, Wisconsin on suspicion of drunk driving. Authorities had received several calls that Ahlert’s green, 1995 Chevrolet Lumina was “all over the road”, and when police finally caught up with him he was doing 40mph in a 55mph zone.

Ahlert was clearly intoxicated and told the police that he had been drinking all day while working at Chrysler’s Belvidere plant, which produces Dodge’s all-new – and highly important – Dart compact. Police charged Ahlert for driving under the influence, as well as operating after revocation, open intoxicants in a motor vehicle and unsafe lane deviation.

Amazingly, Ahlert’s latest offense was his fifth DUI, according to the Janesville Gazette.

Chrysler has yet to comment on the incident, but Ahlert’s job is undoubtedly in jeopardy. Chrysler fired 13 employees after the first incident of drinking on the job, and the automaker isn’t likely to go easier after the fourth offense. Be sure to check back for more on this developing story.
