Noble was taken to court, where his attorney submitted a plea of temporary insanity due to caffeine intoxication. This is the first time caffeine was actually used in an insanity plea and it actually worked for this guy. The judge acquitted Noble of all the charges against him, which were:
· Two felony counts of vehicular assault
· Two felony counts of hit-and-run
· Misdemeanor resisting arrest
The man purposefully injured two pedestrians and as a punishment essentially received a slap on the wrist for it, what the hell? According to Examiner.com, the victims still stand a chance filing a civil suit against Noble. Although, I have to say that after reading and watching Noble’s behavior, he does seem to mirror the symptoms put forth by the DSM for caffeine intoxication pretty accurately, but I would too if I were in court for a handful of felonies. The DSM recognizes any consumption of caffeine that is in excess of 250 mg as being caffeine intoxication. That’s about two cups of coffee or three sodas. So, watch out, you’ve become inebriated if you decided to reach for that second cup of joe this morning.
Check out the video. This guy is still pretty squirrelly even after being in jail at least long enough to get changed out into that beautiful orange jumpsuit.
