WAUKESHA COUNTY, Wis. -- An ice cream truck driver faces drunken driving charges after a woman said she saw him throw a malt liquor can out the window of his ice cream truck.
David Blundell, 43, appeared in Waukesha County court Tuesday. He said he wasn't drunk.
New Berlin police said his blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit when he was pulled over.
Blundell has previously been convicted of drunken driving.
"This all just ruined my life. I'm never going to be able to work again," Blundell told 12 News reporter Nick Bohr.
He has lost his job at the ice cream truck company. Blundell's boss told 12 News that drivers cannot have alcohol in the trucks.
"And he stopped in front of the house, took a sip out of his can and threw it into the yard. At that moment, I got mad at that. I just thought he shouldn't litter in someone's yard, so I called the police station at that point," said Denell Heller, who called the police.
"I passed all their tests, and their breathalyzer is wrong," Blundell said.
His supervisor said Blundell also lied about a 1984 sexual assault conviction
