Tycoon dressed as gladiator hit with DUI

LONDON, April 3 (UPI) -- A drunken British clothing tycoon is facing possible jail time after crashing his Mercedes into a tree and fleeing the scene, police said.

William Bianchi, 38, wasn't hard to find. He was dressed as a Roman gladiator with black body paint and singed hair from his burning car, police said. A police officer said he looked like Wyle E. Coyote of the Road Runner cartoons.

Bianchi had been attending his daughter's fancy dress party. Police found him at a London hospital, chatting with a friend dressed as Superman.

He was found guilty of drunken driving and several other charges and will be sentenced on April 16.
