TORONTO -- An accused drunk driver tried but failed to foil a police breathalyzer 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," said the 28-year police veteran.
Arrested Sunday after his Ford pickup was pulled over on a highway just outside of Barrie, the 59-year-old driver was loaded into a cruiser and taken to a police station for testing.
En route, Sgt. James Buchanan said the prisoner vomited, urinated and defecated in the rear of the car.
After arriving at the station, he said the man grabbed a handful of his own waste "and placed it in his mouth, attempting to trick the breathalyzer machine."
It didn't work, Buchanan said.
The motorist was charged with impaired driving, plus driving with more than 80 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood in his system.
"This fellow was in dire need of help. It's bizarre, but the effects of alcohol can make people do strange things," McDonald said
The cruiser took two hours to clean and "it's back on the road."
Did they at least shoot this guy afterwards? I thought in Canada they just shot their criminals and left them in the snow until spring

There's only one thing I can do to keep my lunch down after reading that
Jansen on his broken thumbs:
"It’s limited me in some ways but has been beneficial in others. It’s like I have a couple of clubs on my hands. I just have to hit people with them."
That's a great way to start off the weekend! Learning about a guy that had crap in his mouth.
"I was on the sideline and guys were talking about the score, and then it hit me -- we won by 21. I came in the locker room and I yelled it out, and immediately I just kind of broke down in tears. Because I miss Sean, you know."

No, we just send them to the States where they'll fit in more. :-"
I dunno how someone who eats their own bodily waste would fit in down here... that's more of a Canadian thing I guess...

It helps us maintain our lives in an igloo.
Nothing wrong with Igloos...they keep the molsen and donuts cold, ya hoser.
RIP 21
