A 32-year-old Oregon man allegedly drunk and riding a bicycle ran into some trouble last week, literally.

On Thursday, the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office says Donald Juan Muñoz was caught riding his bicycle through a red light at around 1:30 a.m. in Gresham. Doing so, Muñoz reportedly hit the front of a patrol car with his bike.

When the deputy whose car he had just hit spoke with Muñoz, the cyclist confessed to being drunk on Mike’s Hard Lemonade. Upon inspection, the deputy reportedly found an open bottle of the alcoholic beverage with the bike.

Muñoz was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants. He was also not injured in the collision, the deputy saying he never even fell over after hitting the patrol car.

Well, that’s embarrassing.
