CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wisc. – A New Ulm, Minnesota man has been charged in western Wisconsin not only with drunken driving, but also for having hand-painted, fake license plates on his car.
Police pulled over Nicholas Layton after he’d been spotted weaving through downtown Chippewa Falls. Layton failed a field sobriety test and his plates came back as not registered to the vehicle. they were hand-painted on the back of a Hamm’s beer box, but looked fairly realistic.
