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.
