Man claims drinking after driving

Lund, Sweden. -- A Swedish court cleared a drunken driving suspect of wrongdoing after he told the jury he wasn't drunk until after the car was stopped.

The man, who was arrested after witnesses saw him swerving and followed his car until he pulled over, told the Lund District Court he drank more than 16 ounces of hard liquor at the side of the road while the witnesses weren't paying close attention, The Local reported Friday.

Police said the man was so intoxicated when they arrived that he had trouble
standing. However, jurors said they determined the man's claims of post-driving drinking could not be disproved and the case was dismissed.
