FRIENDSHIP, Wis. (WSAW) -- A jury has convicted a Friendship man of his 10th OWI after he reportedly told a deputy beer battered fish was to blame.
John Przybla, 76, was arrested in October 2014 after deputy pulled him over for crossing the centerline and having a broken tail light. According to the criminal complaint, the deputy asked Przybyla how much he had to drink. Przybyla reportedly denied drinking alcohol but said he had eaten beer battered fish.
Przybyla was issued a breath alcohol test which showed a preliminary result of .062. Because of previous OWI convictions he cannot have PBT over .02. Przybyla was taken to a nearby hospital for a legal blood draw.
Monday, a jury found Przybyla guilty of all three charges: operating while intoxicated; 10th offense, operating with a prohibited alcohol concentration and operating while revoked.
He has previous conviction in Milwaukee, Adams, and Columbia counties dating back to 1995. In 2011, Przybyla was sentenced to one year in jail followed by five years extended supervision.
A sentencing date has not yet been set.

I really need to get netflix and watch that apparently.

I've come up with some clever arguments over the years, but I don't think I could get this one out with a straight face. Even if the alcohol didn't burn up while cooking, could you imagine how much fish you would have to eat to get to that level of alcohol in your system?

I have eaten that much deep fried fish. Much to my dismay later.

If you sleep better thinking only bad guys go to jail, and all cops are honest, upstanding citizens, you might want to not watch this series. Some very 'fishy' stuff going on around Mannitowok(SP) Co....

Fish sounds good for supper thanks guy for posting this now I know what I'm having.

 

[Captain Ahab]

An OWI for a BAL of .06 had to suck. That's really not even buzz worthy. Then again, if he didn't learn after his 9th one...

I hear some cops don't even take puppies to the vet to have their happy meters mutilated, they just lob the tail off in the garage with a department issued bolt cutter. Sick titty sprinklers.

 

[guywhofishes]

They mutilated my happy meter when I was a pup too. You get over it.
