Bad Decision for Thursday: DRINKING CANADA DRY A Windsor, Ontario man has apologized for causing an international incident after he chugged eight beers and swam to Detroit– just to prove to his friends that he could do it. 47-year-old John Morillo made it to Detroit but it was on his return trip when he realized he had gotten more attention than he intended. “As soon I saw the helicopters going by and the boats looking for me, I was like ‘oh, this is really stupid,’” he said. The U.S. Coast Guard found Morillo swimming on the Canadian side. He’s being charged with being intoxicated in a public place and may be fined from $5,000 to $25,000. But he still has bragging rights. “I gotta pay fines and stuff. But I don’t want it to sound like I didn’t make it, because then my buddies are going to say ‘ha, ha, you didn’t make it.’ Because that was the whole thing, to show them I could do it.”
