Florida Man strikes again!

[Archae]

BIG COPPITT KEY, Fla. —

Authorities say a 48-year-old Florida man raised a can of beer and chugged it after a sheriff's deputy stopped him on suspicion of drunken driving.

Daryl Royal Riedel told Monroe County Sheriff's investigators he was scared when he fled in his pickup truck as Deputy Anthony Lopez stepped out of his patrol car Thursday. Riedel drove for a short distance before stopping.

Riedel has three prior DUI convictions between 2003 and 2010 and a fourth is pending from 2017.
The report says Riedel got out of his truck, beer can in his hand and chugged it.

1. But he wasn't driving then.

I've heard of people suspected of DUI connected with leaving the scene of an accident deliberately drinking more after they're home but before they get caught in order to make it more difficult to prove they were drunk while driving. Florida Man here doesn't seem to be that clever, though.

2. Last call for alcohol - before arrest and the pokey.
