The motorist told the officers that he had an alcoholic beverage “a while back.” When asked how much he consumed, the report says that the man replied by saying, “5 o’clock.”

Macklemore, 34, wasn’t alone in his Mercedes. He had two other passengers riding along with him. One of the passengers was treated for a minor cut to the head. Fortunately, all three walked away from the accident without serious injury.
