TIPSY License Plate Owner Pulled Over For Drunken Driving (http://www.ksat.com/automotive/4289598/detail.html)

POSTED: 7:45 am CST March 16, 2005

MOORHEAD, Minn. -- Having a vanity plate the reads "TIPSY" may not be such a good idea after all.

Josiah Johnson, of Argusville, N.D., is in trouble for drunken driving. He figures his TIPSY plate might have tipped off the deputy who busted him.

Police say Johnson had a blood-alcohol level twice the legal limit after he left a sports bar in Moorhead.

Johnson said the TIPSY plate was meant to describe the way an old Jeep rode, and he kept the plate when he got a Chevy Silverado. Johnson said he has learned his lesson and will never drink and drive again.
