A Wyoming lawmaker arrested for drunken driving told cops he boozed it up behind the wheel to cope with “anxiety,” authorities said.

Bill Allemand, a Republican in the Wyoming House of Representatives, was pulled over in Buffalo when officers spotted him driving erratically around 12:30 p.m. Sunday, according to a police report obtained by WyoFile.

An open can of beer was found in the front-seat cupholder next to Allemand, while four unopened cans were found in the passenger seat — and there was even a loaded handgun in the seat alongside him.

“[Allemand] admitted that he drinks while driving for anxiety,” police wrote, adding that the lawmaker told them he had downed two beers just 15 minutes before police stopped him.

  1. I’m pining for Gertrude.

    On Susquehanna’s side, fair Wyoming!
    Although the wild-flower on thy ruin’d wall,
    And roofless homes, a sad remembrance bring,
    Of what thy gentle people did befall;
    Yet thou wert once the loveliest land of all
    That see the Atlantic wave their morn restore.
    Sweet land! may I thy lost delights recall,
    And paint thy Gertrude in her bowers of yore,
    Whose beauty was the love of Pennsylvania’s shore!

    And undoubtedly lost.
