John Przybyla, 73, of Friendship, Wisconsin, was stopped for
a broken tail light and erratic driving on Oct. 12 by a deputy
who then smelled alcohol on his breath and saw that his eyes
were blood shot, according to an incident report released by the
Adams County Sheriff's Department.
The deputy asked Przybyla how much he had had to drink. Przybyla
replied that he had not been drinking and instead had eaten
beer-battered fish at a fish fry, the report said.
Przybyla was arrested after he failed a field sobriety test and
a breath test showed he had been drinking, the report said.
Przybyla was first convicted of drunken driving in 1994. A
preliminary hearing is set for Jan. 21 in Adams County Circuit
Court, where Przybyla faces his 10th drunken driving offense,
according to online court records.
