PANAMA CITY - A Panama City man blew a .228 on a Breathalyzer after failing every kind of field sobriety test and offering up his credit card to a Bay County Sheriff's deputy instead of his driver's license.
The incident began at about 2 a.m. Sunday morning when the deputy saw the man driving at high speed on Tyndall Parkway, a deputy wrote in an incident report. The deputy pursued the man, who made a U-turn through the median and drove for several blocks until finally pulling over in a bank parking lot.
The man was playing loud music, had a 12-ounce can of Bud Light in the center console and reeked of alcohol, the deputy wrote.
When the deputy asked the man to turn his music off the man just stared. He had to be asked several times before complying, the deputy wrote. When asked if he had been drinking, the man said "no" the first time. When asked again, the man said he had "maybe six beers," the deputy wrote.
Instead of giving the deputy a license, the man handed him a credit card, the deputy wrote. The man did agree to a field sobriety test, but failed every single one including alphabet recitation.
"I had (the suspect) start at the letter F and he made it to the letter G then he stopped," the deputy wrote. ( WHoo hoo he got one letter )
After the man was arrested, he was upset about his car being towed, the deputy wrote.
"(The suspect) advised me that the vehicle did not know what it was doing and he did not understand why it was being arrested," the deputy wrote.
The man was charged with DUI.
