Even eBay tried to help, to no avail, Winegar said yesterday.
He told officers he had downed 15 beers before hitting the street. He was convicted of drunken driving and spent three days in a driver's-education program.
When Wygle tried to sell the bar stool made famous by his jaunt, county officials obtained a court order to seize and sell the device in hopes of paying off some of the $37,000 in unpaid child support he owed.
Court records show that Wygle has not paid $1,475 in fines and costs accompanying his conviction, and the case has been turned over to a collection company.
The eBay auction generated headlines but, ultimately, no cash.
