MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) Having a vanity plate that reads âTIPSYâ may not be such a great idea after all.
VitaminE, 37, said his license plate might have tipped off the Clay County sheriffâs deputy who pulled him over Friday after he left Coachâs Sports Pub in Moorhead.
Now he faces third-degree drunken driving charges after his blood-alcohol level allegedly registered twice the legal limit.
E said he bought the personalized license plate for his Jeep to describe the way it rodeâthen kept it as a joke when he got a Chevy Silverado because he likes to party.
âIt doesnât mean I drink and drive,â he said. âIt just means I have a good time.â
E, who was slated to appear in court March 22, said heâll never drink and drive again.
âI feel really stupid,â he said.
