Drunk driver had nearly $140 bar tab

(UPI) -- Police in Florida say a drunken driving suspect who said he had only two drinks had a receipt in his pocket showing a nearly $140 bar tab.

Ocala Police said they stopped an orange Hummer on East Silver Springs Boulevard early Friday after a report of a possible drunken driver, the Ocala (Fla.) Star-Banner reported.

Driver Bradley Garrison, 40, had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath, police said, but told officers he had only two drinks at the Charlie Horse Restaurant and Lounge.

Garrison was arrested after failing a field sobriety test, police said.

While searching Garrison, officer Charles Hunt said he found a receipt in Garrison's front pants pocket from the restaurant showing purchases including 20 Jack Daniels drinks and other drinks, for a total bar tab of $139.09.

Whether Garrison had consumed all the drinks was unclear.

He was taken to the Marion County Jail, where he couldn't complete a breath alcohol test because of vomiting, police said.
