Two chickens, six wings, two racks of ribs, cheeseburger apparently isn't recipe for passing DUI test

A 42-year-old man told police he ate two chickens, six wings, two racks of ribs and a cheeseburger, saying he'd pass a test to determine his blood alcohol content because he'd downed "'a ton of food.'"
He apparently was wrong, according to a recently released Fort Pierce Police report.
The case that put David James Herzog behind bars on a DUI charge began on the Fourth of July after a woman told an officer a "fat (buttocks) cracka" was on North 21st Street and Avenue G trying to buy "'dope."
She expressed concern for the man's "safety because he appeared very intoxicated and was beginning to upset the citizens by asking to buy drugs." The man was in an older model Chevrolet pick up truck, she said.
Police found a man later identified as Herzog behind the wheel of an older model Chevy pick up in the area of North 21st Street and Avenue G.
"I'm trying to get a (sexual favor)," Herzog is quoted as telling police.
He was asked to get out of the vehicle, and he stepped out.
"His blue jean shorts immediately fell to the floor, exposing his white underwear," the report states. "The driver apologized, chuckled, and said, 'Told you, I was tryin' to get a (sexual favor)!'"
The man, who police reported smelled of alcohol, provided his license, which identified him as Herzog. Herzog said he imbibed 10 to 12 Budweisers in six hours.
He said he was "'way too (impaired) up to drive'" but "'really wanted to have sex.'"
The officer asked Herzog where he'd been earlier in the evening, and he said a bar on U.S. 1.
"He advised that he picked up a prostitute at the bar, received a sexual favor in the parking lot and then agreed to drive her to a crack house that she was familiar with (near North 21st Street and Avenue G)," the report states. "Herzog stated that she promised him another sexual act in return for driving her to buy crack cocaine."
Herzog said the woman got out of his truck and didn't come back.
Herzog performed field sobriety exercises, and at one point said, "'I'm too drunk for this officer.'"
He agreed to a breath test to determine his blood alcohol content.
Herzog said he downed two chickens, six wings, two racks of ribs and a cheeseburger and would pass the test because he ate "'a ton of food.'"
The test measured his blood alcohol content as 0.211 and 0.213 -- more than twice the legal limit of 0.08.
Herzog, of the 900 block of Northwest Fresco Way in Jensen Beach, was arrested on a DUI charge.
