“A Wisconsin man who blamed his beer-battered fish fry after he was pulled over the 10th time for drunken driving is going to prison.” A judge didn’t buy his excuse that the smell of alcohol on his breath noted during the Dell Prairie traffic stop was from the savory ingredient. [Chicago Tribune]

“A judge didn’t buy his excuse that the smell of alcohol on his breath noted during the Dell Prairie traffic stop was from the savory ingredient.”
Well, according to other articles, they also did a breath test and a blood draw, so it wasn’t just the smell on his breath. And he had an open container. And he was driving on a revoked license, presumably from the 9 previous DUIs. So he can blame the fish all he likes, but there’s really no reason for anyone to believe him.
