And finally… punch drunk

A man has been accused of repeatedly punching himself in the face to avoid taking a breathalyser test.

Police discovered Brian Fogg, 27, sitting in a car stuck in a ditch in Belfast, Miami last week, according to WGME-TV.

When they tried to test his blood-alcohol level, the cunning Mr Fogg allegedly punched himself in the face, causing him to bleed.

Police at the scene administered first aid instead of proceeding with the test.

Unfortunately for Mr Fogg, he was later charged with operating under the influence, falsifying physical evidence and criminal mischief.
