It doesn’t get much more embarrassing than being known as the guy who got pulled over for suspected drunk driving while wearing a Halloween costume consisting of just a trench coat and a “piece of cloth that looked like penis.”
But eating toilet paper before you take a breathalyzer because you think it will confuse the testing device? Yeah, that probably fits the bill.
According to Huffington Post, that’s exactly what Ross McDonald did after he was detained by Iowa City police officers early Sunday morning when they spotted him driving the wrong way on a road.
McDonald allegedly stuck to his guns and told officers he had only consumed two drinks, but they noted his speech was slurred, his eyes were bloodshot and he couldn’t remember which bar he had come from.
Standing in just a trench coat with a fake cloth penis attached to it, McDonald’s balance was also “unsteady.” So officers brought him to a “drunken driving processing room,” and that’s where McDonald decided to chow on a roll of ass wipes in hopes that it would “interfere with the breathalyzer.”
It did not. McDonald blew a .165 and was charged with his third DUI.
