Maine Man Allegedly Avoids Sobriety Test By Repeating Punching Himself In The Face

 

 

 

There are various techniques to evading sobriety tests from burping to vomiting to claiming medications.  Brian Fogg however had a more hands on approach.  According to police in Belfast, Maine, Fogg repeatedly punched himself in the face to force the officers to attend to his injuries rather than administer the breathalyzer.  It did not work.
