Correctional Fluid Leads to Correctional Facility

LegalView's DumbJustice - Dumb Criminal

Juan Briceno has has been caught driving drunk four times - in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2007.

On May 1, 2007, Briceno was taken in for reported drunk driving and, perhaps wanting to prove beyond doubt that he's whiter than white, drunk a bottle of Wite Out correctional fluid!

He was seen drinking from correctional fluid on a surveillance video - he had been left alone in a room at the police station, thinking that officers had gone to get the breath-testing equipment. Whether he was attempting to cover the fumes on his breath is not known - he's wiped the event from his mind. Hey - perhaps the stuff works!!

In the event, police spent a happy few minutes watching as Briceno attempted unsuccessfully to correct his mime-artist lips - perhaps he should have used Tippex to cover his mistake.

Later, at the hospital, Briceno's blood alcohol level was found to be three and a half times the legal limit.
