A MAN wearing a St Patrick's Day T-shirt with Drunk Lives Matter emblazoned on the front was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving.
Elwood R Gutshall III was stopped in his green Ford pickup after allegedly “committing multiple traffic violations”, police in Pennsylvania say.
The 44-year-old was pulled over in the early hours of March 19- two days after St Patrick's Day - and was accused of being drunk behind the wheel, Newville Police Department says.
Incredibly, Gutshall was wearing a bright-green novelty top with the slogan across the front - a play on the anti-racism campaign Black Lives Matter.
A police report said: "It was determined the driver was under the influence of alcohol beyond what he could safely operate a motor vehicle."
He was taken into custody and allegedly found to have a blood alcohol level of .217, nearly three times the legal limit in the US.
Gutshall was charged with DUI (driving under the influence) Highest Rate, driving under DUI suspension and traffic violations.
He is due in court on May 26 for a preliminary hearing.
