Florida man found with 34 open White Claw cans during DUI stop

A Florida man was arrested on DUI charges after state troopers pulled him over and found 34 open cans of White Claw in his vehicle.

Conor William Parady, of San Antonio, Florida, was pulled over on Saturday by a Florida Highway Patrol trooper on northbound Interstate 75 in Pasco County, according to state authorities.

An agency spokesperson said a trooper on patrol near mile marker 280 witnessed a Honda Civic traveling at speeds exceeding 90 mph.

After initiating a traffic stop, the trooper reported that the driver showed clear signs of heavy intoxication. Investigators then discovered dozens of cans of the hard seltzer on the front passenger seat of the vehicle, according to FHP.

A photo posted to FHP Tampa’s Instagram page shows the dozens of cans piled atop each other, seemingly empty.

State troopers arrested Parady, 33, at the scene and transported him to the Pasco County Jail.

According to highway patrol records, breath tests administered following the arrest showed Parady had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.177 percent. The legal limit for driving in the state of Florida is 0.08 percent.

Parady faces a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence.
