DUI suspect claims to be Florida football player; still gets taken to jail

A Florida man was taken to jail on charges of DUI and habitually driving while his license was suspended over the weekend, which by itself is hardly newsworthy. But it’s what the suspect said to police while pulled over that grabs a headline on this football blog.

According to a story from the Gainesville Sun, Carl Brusch was pulled over by police at 2 a.m. Saturday morning for changing lanes within 100 feet of an intersection. Brusch then attempted to pull over several times and hit a curb when he was able to stop the car. Brusch then asked police while pulled over if being a member of the Florida Gators football team would affect the outcome of his situation.

It didn’t, and Brusch isn’t really part of the Florida Gators.

And, considering the recent illegal substance “issue” in Gainesville, now may not be the best time to create that new alias.

Unless he said he was Tim Tebow, who apparently only drinks milk.
