I THINK HE MEANT HE WAS SUFFERING FROM VERTIGO VODKA!
An NYPD cop accused of falling down drunk in a Canadian airport is claiming he was stricken by vertigo and not intoxicated.
Officer Clinton Wike, who has a successful career outside the force as an R&B recording artist, is singing a new tune in a $250 million notice to sue the city for stirring up a bogus disciplinary case against him.
Wike began feeling dizzy and stumbled while boarding a flight at Pearson International Airport after a gig in Canada last year.
A Delta Airlines representative asked him to get off the plane because he might be "too drunk to fly," according to the notice. "Unbeknownst to her he was experiencing a period of vertigo," the notice states.
Wike was taken by Toronto constables to their station and given a summons for being publicly intoxicated. The NYPD ordered him to receive outpatient alcohol treatment and he claims a supervisor at the 111th Precinct station house where he's assigned pressured him to pay the fine for the summons.
