An Arizona retiree was arrested and charged with driving under the influence despite having a blood alcohol level of zero.
Jessie Thorton, 64, told ABC News that he was pulled over on June 5 around 11 p.m. He says his wife works night shifts as an emergency nurse, therefore, he often runs errands and goes to the gym while she’s at work.
Once he was pulled over, Thorton says an officer walked up to his vehicle and said, “I can tell you’re driving DUI by looking in your eyes.”
He claims his eyes were red because he was swimming at the gym pool.
Thorton believes he was pulled over because of his race."
"It was driving while black," he told ABC.
He’s now filed a $500,000 lawsuit against the city

Yep. I dont know many people (if any) who get blood shot eyes from drinking, until 12 hours later with the hang over.
Sounds like he was arrested on suspicious of being high, not drunk.
