An Ohio man suspected of driving while intoxicated didn't "flip out" when police pulled him over, but he did do a backflip to try to prove he was sober. The whole traffic stop was caught on body camera. The video shows 27-year-old Tanner Watson telling a police officer from Broadway Heights that he'd had three or four beers."Your driving's pretty bad. Your eyes are super glossy," the officer is heard telling Watson. The officer could also smell alcohol and started the usual sobriety tests, having Watson follow his finger with his eyes and walk in a straight line. Instead, Watson took off his cap and suggested a different challenge — a backflip — which he completed successfully. "That's good, man. I can't do that," the officer responds.Although Watson completed the backflip, he still had to complete the usual sobriety tests and was eventually placed under arrest. Watson joins the ranks of others who over-performed during DUI stops, including a man from Florida who did a cartwheel and a Canadian crooner, who sang the lyrics to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" flawlessly for six minutes.
