A likely story

Somehow, I don't think this guy's defense is going to stand up in court, no matter how good his lawyer is.
A man told police not to blame him for crashing his truck into a light post _ it was that unicorn behind the wheel. Prosecutor Ingrid Rosenquist said Phillip C. Holliday Jr. initially denied driving the truck involved in the March 7 crash in Billings. He told officers at the scene that a unicorn was driving, she said.

Holliday, 42, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to felony charges of criminal endangerment and drunken driving.
No, really? He was drunk? Just try to wrap your heads around that.
Holliday has five drunken-driving convictions. District Judge Gregory Todd kept his bail at $100,000 despite his lawyer arguing that Holliday's last such conviction was 14 years ago.
Besides, a leprechaun was driving that time. And leprechauns are terrible drivers.
