A drunk Ohio man led police on a car chase because, he told the officers afterward, he wanted to finish his Big Mac.

A pedestrian had previously called in to report a speeding SUV that nearly hit him when police spotted the SUV swerve out of a McDonald’s drive-thru, Fox 8 Cleveland reports. The police gave chase, but the SUV continued driving briefly before coming to a stop.

Randall W. Miller, 31, apologized and told police that he wanted to finish his Big Mac before he stopped, according to the police report. He admitted to drinking 10 to 15 beers and showed a blood alcohol content level of .255, three times the legal limit.

Miller faces charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, failure to comply, driving under suspension and no operator’s license–but at least he got to finish that Big Mac.
