Drunk driver tries to bribe police with dead fish

Darwin police say a drink driver they caught last night tried to give them a dead fish.

Officers were called to a service station at Casuarina because the man was visibly intoxicated.

He allegedly recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.235.

Police say the fish was reasonably fresh.

0.235 is below the legal limit, isnt it .35?

I guess when they pulled him over he thought it was time to sink or swim, must have been pretty dissapointed when they got their hooks into him.
