A Wisconsin man is charged with his 10th OWI after a traffic stop in October, according to a report from WSAW.

According to the Adams County Sheriff’s Department, John Przybyla, 75, was stopped Oct. 12 after a deputy noticed he crossed the center line and had a broken tail light.

The criminal complaint states that the deputy asked Przybyla how much he had to drink. Przybyla reportedly denied drinking alcohol, but said he had eaten beer battered fish, WSAW reports.

He was issued a breath alcohol test which showed a preliminary result of .062. Because of previous OWI convictions he cannot have PBT over .02.

Przybyla was brought to a nearby hospital for a legal blood draw.
