A Florida man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after a Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) trooper stopped him for allegedly driving more than 90 mph on Interstate 75 in Pasco County and discovered dozens of open alcohol containers inside his vehicle, authorities said.
The traffic stop occurred on I-75 near the 280 mile marker in Pasco County, according to the FHP.
Authorities said a trooper was patrolling northbound when a Honda Civic passed the patrol vehicle at speeds exceeding 90 mph.
The trooper initiated a traffic stop and made contact with the driver, later identified as Conor William Parady, 33, of San Antonio, Florida.
During the encounter, the officer said Parady allegedly appeared to be very intoxicated.
Officers also discovered 34 open containers of alcohol inside the vehicle during the stop, authorities said.
Authorities said the officer's observations during the stop led to a DUI investigation.
Parady was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and transported to the Pasco County Jail.
According to the FHP, authorities reported a blood alcohol concentration of 0.177 following the arrest.
Florida's legal limit for drivers is 0.08.
Online jail records showed Parady was booked into the Pasco County Jail following the arrest.
It was not immediately clear if he had hired an attorney.
Under Florida law, a first-time DUI conviction can carry penalties including fines, probation, community service, and driver's license suspension, although any potential penalties in this case would depend on the outcome of the court proceedings.
A Florida Highway Patrol spokesperson did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for additional comment Saturday night.
