San Diego DUI - Drunk Driver gets it in the eye
Drunk driver gets it in the eye from German police Tue Jan 31, 12:05 PM ET
BERLIN (Reuters) - Officers soon saw through a German driver who posed as an acquaintance when he was stopped for drink driving -- he forgot his alter ego had a glass eye, police said on Tuesday.
Police in the western city of Bochum said the driver's details seemed to be correct when he told them who he was -- until their records showed the man matching his description was registered as having a glass eye. A torch beam shone in face soon disproved this, however.
"His eye responded to stimulus. So then he said he used to have a glass eye, but didn't any more," said a Bochum police spokesman.
"It seems he was impersonating someone he knew well.
A search uncovered the man's true identity, and that he had already lost his licence for a previous offence.
