Deputies said they smelled alcohol on his breath. McGriff told deputies he was having a diabetic attack. But as they waited for paramedics, McGriff called his wife and told her he was going to jail, officials said.
He then refused a field sobriety test and was arrested.
McGriff was released a couple of hours after his arrest.
