After being arrested for drunk driving, a man wearing only a trench coat
and “a piece of cloth that looked like a penis” attempted to eat toilet
paper in a bid to foil a breathalyzer test, Iowa police report.
Police pulled over Ross McDonald, 39, after they spotted him driving the wrong way down Market Street in Conesville at
around 3:07am on Sunday. According to a criminal complaint, McDonald
was “extremely confused” and could not tell officers “what bar he was
coming from.”
McDonald, who claimed to have consumed two drinks, had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and unsteady balance, officers noted. He also appeared to be dressed in a “flasher” costume: “Def was only wearing a trench coat and a piece of cloth that looked like a penis.” Upon arrival at the police precinct, McDonald “attempted to eat toilet paper, thinking it would mess with” the breathalyzer.
McDonald had initially refused the breath test, but “changed his mind after attempting to eat the toilet paper.”
Despite McDonald’s cunning plan, his blood alcohol content was measured
at .165, twice the legal limit.
McDonald was arrested and charged with third-offense drunken driving, a
Class D felony punishable by up to five years in prison. He was released
from jail after posting $5,000 bond.
