South Carolina Man Sprays Axe Body Spray Into His Mouth To Hide His Alcohol Breath From Police

AP - Authorities in South Carolina say a man sprayed Axe body spray in his mouth to cover the smell of alcohol as deputies approached during a traffic stop.

The State newspaper reports that Spartanburg County sheriff’s deputies stopped 49-year-old Efren Mencia-Ramirez on Saturday night after they say he sped past a deputy on Interstate 85 and swerved into another lane.

The incident report says there was a 12-pack of beer on the floor and 10 of the beers were nearly empty. The report says Mencia-Ramirez had an open bottle between his legs, exhibited signs of intoxication and failed field sobriety tests.

Alot of people are going to shit on this guy and ask how the hell he can do this. They’ll say that they can’t even bring themselves to spray Axe on their clothes let alone into their piehole, but desperate times calling for desperate measures absolutely applies here. Sure, he could’ve reached into his center console and grabbed a penny like that old urban legend always told us, but he decided to go more extreme. I get it. Maybe he thought the scent of Axe would make the cop just want to get the fuck out of there?

Now, I’ve never been in this kind of situation because I’m not an asshole who gets bombed and drives, but most people have at the very least tried to conceal alcohol on their breath from their parents when they were kids. I usually just settled for the casual stick of Wrigley’s and would hope that’d do the trick. My buddy had his own thing where he would slam ranch Corn Nuts and he absolutely swore by it. I’ve never tried it, but it actually sounds like a foolproof plan in theory besides the fact that you’re going to be farting your ass off for about 2-4 hours after you eat them.

My only question is how did he get caught? It had to be from incessantly gagging when the cop walked up to the car, right? Because I don’t care how strong your stomach is there’s no way that you can stay stone face after that shit.

I guess my only suggestion would be to make sure you always ride with some of those ranch Corn Nuts from now on. Save yourself form using Axe like it’s a squirt water bottle.

Just make sure that you’re able to roll the windows down when you’ve gotta fart later in the trip though.
