Teen allegedly mistakes tomato for pot
NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla., Jan. 21 (UPI) -- A Florida man charged with drunken driving was so out of it he did not realize the left front tire of his Lexus was missing, police said.
Kevin Blazer, 34, was arrested Wednesday morning in New Port Richey, the Tampa Bay Times reported. A Pasco County sheriff's deputy said he pulled Blazer over after noticing smoke and sparks coming from the place where the tire should have been.
Blazer's blood alcohol level tested at .131, well over the Florida limit of .08.
He was released from jail later Wednesday.
