British cricket player Graeme Swann was pulled over for drunk driving and blamed it on his cat. He told officers that he “had come back to find his cat trapped under the floorboards in his house. He had gone to Asda to fetch some screwdrivers to remove some floorboards,” and that is why he was driving drunk in the middle of the night. He was apparently slurring but mostly just upset about his cat. As far as DUI excuses go, that’s a pretty original one. It seems that celebrities will say just about anything to try to get out of an arrest. We’ve rounded up 10 offenders. [Yahoo]
