'Super drunk' NHL prospect pulled over while wearing Teletubby costume

11/29/2012

Detroit Red Wings prospect Riley Sheahan was charged with being "super drunk" (a real thing in the state of Michigan), which meant that he was accused of driving with a blood alcohol content above 0.17. Sheahan's was way over — police say a whopping 0.30 — which, in legal terms, is known as supermegagigundo drunk. Sheahan, 20, was also wearing a giant purple Teletubby costume at the time of his arrest (that alone should have proved he was super drunk) and gave his 23-year-old teammate's ID to the officer who pulled him over. The most unbelievable part of the story? That he's not in the costume in his mug shot. Pics or it didn't happen, Grand Rapids police! [Source]
