You know when a news story starts off like this …

• A Kenosha County deputy in his underwear teamed up with a bank president to track down an alleged drunk driver.

… it’s gonna be a good day. That sentence is pert near the plot to a new John Cusack rom-comedy (that only exists in my mind). Just replace “bank president” with “charming, female bank president,” change “alleged drunk driver” to “eccentric bank robber played by Paul Giamatti,” and swap “Kenosha County deputy” with … “John Cusack.” Hey! They could film the whole thing in Wisconsin! Oh, wait.

Here’s more of the script treatment, courtesy of the Associated Press:

• Police say Deputy Russell Preston was home Thursday evening when a pickup truck hit a light pole, skidded into his front yard and kept going.
• Preston gave chase on foot, wearing a T-shirt, boxers and socks.
• Johnson Bank president Dick Hansen was driving by and witnessed the commotion. He motioned for Preston to get in and together they followed the driver.

The AP says our dynamic duo “nabbed” the drunk a few blocks away, but they don’t say how. Which is kind of disappointing, because as is, that’s barely 10 minutes of screen time.
