A Florida man is facing a DUI charge after troopers say they pulled him over for speeding and found a jaw-dropping scene inside his car: 34 open White Claw cans piled on the passenger seat.
The wild traffic stop happened Saturday on Interstate 75 in Pasco County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
A trooper was patrolling near mile marker 280 when a Honda Civic allegedly blew past at more than 90 mph, investigators said.
The trooper pulled the car over and quickly determined that the driver appeared to be heavily intoxicated, according to FHP.
Then came the discovery that stunned authorities.
Inside the vehicle, troopers said they found dozens of open White Claw cans sitting on the passenger seat — 34 in total.
The driver was identified as 34-year-old Conor William Parady of San Antonio, Florida.
Parady was arrested and charged with DUI, authorities said. He was taken to the Pasco County Jail, where FHP said his blood alcohol level was recorded at 0.117.
Florida’s legal blood alcohol limit for most drivers is 0.08.
Photos shared by law enforcement showed the passenger seat filled with White Claw cans, a sight that quickly turned the arrest into one of the more bizarre DUI cases out of Florida this week.
No injuries were reported in the traffic stop.
