Collins was taken to the Mason County Seriff's office where he was booked into jail, Dean said. Collins, 51, testified he lives alone at 1719 Ridge Road. He said the night in question he had gone to the Shelton Recreation bowling alley and tavern after eating dinner and had drunk three beers and played a few games of shuffelb:mrd. He left there between 11:30 and midnight, Collins said, and stop- ped at Bob's Tavern where he got two orde,'s of chicken to go and started home. The road up the hill was under construction, he testified, and he had to sort of "feel" his way up. He stated he turned left on Cascade and then right on Ridge- road when he observed the red lgiht$ of the patrol car flashing and stopped. He stated he had one leg which gave him trouble and he stum- bled a little when he got out of the car.

He stated that after he was booked into jail, he had called Gale Albrecht, owner of Shelton recreation, and Albrecht had come down to the jail and bail- ed him out. Collins stated he and Alhrecht stopped at the 40 and 8 club where Albrecht was to meet some people who had been at his place of business when he closed it to come to the court house after getting Collins' call. Collins said he had had two mixed drinks in the 40 and 8 Club and then Albrecht had tak- en him to where his car had been left and he had driven home. The chicken, which had been left in tim car when he was ar- rested, was missing when he got back, Collins testified. Also testifying was Albrecht, who tokt the jury Collins came to his place the evening in ques- tion and had had three beers before leaving.
