Madd at Dustin.

Dustin Lee Chady didn’t want to go to jail. He really didn’t.

And since Chady knew he might get thrown in the slammer if he didn’t attend a court-ordered drunk driving meeting in Colorado Springs last Monday, he made every effort to get there, including bum-rushing the doors and throwing punches at an off-duty cop.

According to a story in the Colorado Springs Gazette, Chady showed up at 7:36 p.m. for a 7 p.m. meeting hosted by Mothers Against Drunk Drivers.

When the off-duty officer – working security for the event -- told him he couldn’t come in late, Chady ran for the door and then began throwing wild punches.

He claimed that a judge had ordered him to the meeting as part of a plea deal in a drunk-driving case and if he didn’t attend, he’d have to go to jail, the story said.

Chady did end up going to jail, charged with assaulting a police officer.

The best part is it was his birthday. Chady is 25.
