Driver Arrested After Troopers Find 34 Open White Claw Cans on I‑75

A breath test recorded a 0.177% blood‑alcohol level which is more than twice Florida’s 0.08% legal limit.

A Florida man was arrested and charged with driving under the influence after troopers said they pulled him over for speeding and discovered 34 open cans of White Claw in his car.

Overview

  • A Florida Highway Patrol trooper stopped a Honda Civic for traveling over 90 mph on northbound I‑75 near mile marker 280 and reported signs of heavy intoxication.
  • Officers counted 34 open White Claw cans on the front passenger seat and posted a photo of the cans on the FHP Tampa Instagram account.
  • The driver was identified as 33‑year‑old Conor William Parady of San Antonio, Florida, who was arrested at the scene and taken to Pasco County Jail.
  • Breath tests administered after the arrest showed a 0.177% blood‑alcohol concentration, a level that qualified the arrest as a misdemeanor DUI under Florida law.
  • If convicted, penalties could include fines, license suspension, and probation, and the agency’s public posts mean prosecutors and the public already have visual evidence from the stop.
