A man convicted of his 10th drunk-driving charge in Wisconsin blamed it on eating beer-battered fish.
A jury in Adams County found 76-year-old John Przybyla of Friendship, Wisconsin, guilty of drunk driving on Monday.
Przybyla faces a maximum of 12 1/2 years in prison, the Wisconsin Rapids Tribune reported.
The conviction stems from a 2014 traffic stop when a deputy noticed the smell of alcohol on Przybyla’s breath and asked him if he had been drinking, according to court documents. He said he hadn’t been drinking, but he instead ate beer-battered fish at a restaurant.
He refused to take a blood test, saying it was against his religion.
