An allegedly drunk driver with a taste for
trickery failed to foil a police breathalyzer machine after stuffing
his mouth full of feces. "I don't think alcohol alone would make you do
something as disgusting as that," South Simcoe Police Insp. Tom
McDonald said. |

"I've never heard of anything like this
before," the 28-year veteran said.Arrested Sunday after his Ford pickup truck was pulled over on Hwy. 11
in Stroud, the 59-year-old driver was loaded into a cruiser and taken
to a South Simcoe Police station for testing.
En route, Sgt. James Buchanan said, the prisoner vomited, urinated and
defecated in the squad car.
At the station the man grabbed a handful of his own waste "and placed
it in his mouth, attempting to trick the breathalyzer machine," he said.
It didn't work, Buchanan said.
The machine registered two readings of more than twice the legal blood
alcohol limit. The man was charged with impaired driving and driving
over the limit and was released on a promise to appear in a Bradford
court on May 12.

Man Charged With Drunken Horse Riding
SOMERSET, Ky. (AP) - A
man has been charged with drunken driving - for riding a horse while
allegedly intoxicated. Millard Greg Dwyer, 42, was arrested Sunday
night after he rode his horse onto a downtown street in front of an
off-duty state trooper, Somerset Police Lt. Allan Coomer said.
Trooper Martin Wesley
told local officers that Dwyer looked like he was about to fall off the
horse.
Coomer said Dwyer
admitted to being drunk and told officers that he had ridden the horse
from Fishing Creek, which was about 5 miles away.
Dwyer told officers
that he had consumed about a twelve pack, Coomer said. Dwyer failed
sobriety tests, Coomer said, and was charged with operating a vehicle
other than a motor vehicle under the influence of intoxicants.
A breath test showed Dwyer's alcohol level at .244, more than three
times the limit, Coomer said.
Dwyer was released from the Pulaski County Dentention Center Monday,
jail officials said. He faces a fine of between $20-$100, plus court
costs, Coomer said.
Coomer said the arrest was "very unusual," but Somerset police have
arrested others for similar violations, such as riding a bicycle and a
lawn mower under the influence.
