Now, if he would have said it was a result of the Fireball pumpkin pie he had for dessert, we might have believed him.
According to the Chicago Tribune, a 73-year-old man in the town of Friendship faces his 10th drunken driving offense after he failed a field sobriety test during a recent traffic stop.
When an Adams County sheriff’s deputy stopped John Przybyla in October for “a broken tail light and erratic driving,” Przybyla’s breath reeked of booze, so the deputy asked him how much he had been drinking. Przybyla said he didn’t have a drop of alcohol and instead blamed it on the beer-battered fish he had eaten at a fish fry.
So, either Przybyla consumed a shit ton of fried haddock or he was lying, because he failed a field sobriety test and blew a .062 when he was issued a blood alcohol test. If it holds up in court next month, it will be his tenth drunken driving conviction.
Przybyla spent one year in the clink for a DUI conviction in 2011, and that was followed by five years of extended supervision. That apparently isn’t going very well.
In a related story, Przybyla’s last name is a damn nightmare.
