DocM Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/man-blames-beer-battered-fish-for-DWI-687543 Beer-Battered Man Blames Beer- Battered Fish DECEMBER 10--During a recent traffic stop, a Wisconsin motorist who has nine prior drunk driving convictions on his record explained that the reason a sheriff?s deputy smelled booze on his breath was because he had just eaten beer-battered fish at lunch. John Przybyla was pulled over by a cop who spotted the 75-year-old?s vehicle driving erratically. When the Adams County Sheriff?s Office deputy approached Przybyla--who was driving on a revoked license--he recognized the ?smell of a moderate odor of an intoxicating beverage emitting from his breath.? Przybyla?s eyes were also bloodshot and glossy, according to a police report detailing the 2:30 PM traffic stop. During field sobriety tests, Przybyla ?showed impairment.? Additionally, Deputy Brian Loewenhagen found an open can of Red Dog Beer on the truck?s passenger seat. When the deputy asked Przybyla (seen above) how much alcohol he had consumed, ?John said he had not been drinking,? adding that he was heading home after attending an October 12 fish fry. Przybyla, Deputy Loewenhagen reported, ?said he wasn?t drinking and had beer battered fish.? Przybyla, who himself appeared to be beer battered, was arrested after failing the field sobriety tests. While a Breathalyzer test recorded Przybyla?s blood alcohol content at .062--below the .08 limit--his history of DWI convictions prohibits him from driving with a BAC above .02. Along with his tenth drunk driving charge, Przybyla was booked on several other counts, including driving with a revoked license and possessing an open can of beer in a motor vehicle. Przybyla, who lives in the village of Friendship, is next scheduled for a January 21 court appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisj1968 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Pulled over drunk 9 times? Can you imagine how much his insurance is. good question. in that case, how can he afford to get drunk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 good question. in that case, how can he afford to get drunk? These situations usually have an enabler. An individual who is blind to a persons problems who will always buy them their alcohol. We see it allot in the hospital with alcoholics and obese indivjduals.

Astra.Xtreme Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Wisconsin basically slaps you on the hand for OWIs until you kill somebody. It's really sad. I think it takes about 3 or 4 convictions before it becomes a felony and jail-time is given. Between stories like these where people have 10 convictions and all the people driving the wrong way down the highway, this state needs to crack down and get these damn people off the streets.

DocM Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 OTOH, Michigan slaps them silly. Up to 93 days in jail for first offense, up to a year for the second offense, plus fines, license suspensions and alcohol treatment. Ramps up after that. Blow a BAC of .17 and you're charged as as "SuerDrunk" and everything ramps WAY up even on first offense. If a drunk kills someone in an accident it's not just vehicular homicide but quite possibly 2nd degree murder and a life sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, wasn't comparing the two just adding the implications and consequences of what can happen when you drink and drive. :) +E.Worm Jimmy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
