He was hungry for a police pursuit.

A Hinckley, Ohio, man lead police on a brief chase, hoping to buy some time to finish his Big Mac.

Brunswick, Ohio, police were told by a pedestrian that a speeding SUV nearly hit him.

Police spotted the SUV pulling out of a McDonald’s drive-thru and being driven erratically down the road early Sept. 28, FOX8 Cleveland reported.

Police tried to get the driver to pull over, but he kept going for a short distance before stopping.

Officers detected the strong smell of booze and the driver’s slurred speech, FOX8 reported.

The driver apologized to police, admitted being drunk and said he just wanted to finish his burger, which he continued to munch on until asked to perform sobriety tests.

Police reportedly found an open can of beer in the SUV, along with several other cans.

When asked to do the sobriety tests, the driver told police "it wasn’t worth the trouble" and admitted to downing as many as 15 beers, which resulted in a blood-alcohol level of more than triple the legal limit.

Randall Miller, 31, was charged with failure to comply, operating a vehicle while intoxicated, driving under suspension and no operator’s license, FOX8 reported.

Miller, who has two prior drunk-driving convictions, was handed over to his wife.
