A 76-year-old Florida man with a suspended license allegedly admitted during a traffic stop that he had been drinking rum — later telling deputies he had also recently used cocaine — just four months after a separate DUI arrest, authorities said.
Charles Ducking, 76, of Lake Wales, was pulled over after a sheriff's deputy allegedly observed him swerving while driving along U.S. Highway 27 in Waverly, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
The deputy detected the odor of alcohol and noticed that Ducking allegedly had slurred speech and watery eyes.
When asked for his driver's license, Ducking allegedly told the deputy it had been suspended.

"Well, I can't show you my driver's license cuz it's suspended cuz DUI. And I have been drinking a little bit right now," he said, according to the sheriff's office.
Officials said Ducking then showed the deputy a silver thermal cup containing a brown liquid.
"This here is my rum I'm drinking," he said, according to the sheriff's office.
A traffic deputy who responded to conduct a DUI investigation immediately recognized Ducking from a previous DUI arrest in May, the sheriff's office said.
Officials said deputies also found a small orange container containing cocaine during a search of Ducking's vehicle, which allegedly prompted Ducking to tell law enforcement he had "done a line" 10 minutes before he was pulled over.

Yeah another story.
Rum. Depends if it is true black strap molasses rum rather than the chemical crap.
Rum = a happy and tranquil life. Or good for a day at least.
Honestly, who cares about a drunk guy? Taxpayers in every state pay for this.
The 25 is otherworldly, but it’s dang expensive.
I enjoy the 15 neat. It’s sweet on the tongue with an extremely smooth finish. I hope you enjoy it, Bob.
He should’ve finished the blow before the DUI line dance.
He would’ve done better, I’m not drunk I’m coked out,

Cocaine in your 20s is foolish. In your 70s is full retard.
I do when approaching him going north on a one-way southbound street.
In other words, I like to avoid head-on collisions.
I’ve had the Appleton 21. I’ll look for the El Dorado 25.
Hang the price. I’m worth it.

Fair point.
