A Jetblue pilot was charged Wednesday for flying while intoxicated.
The pilot tried blaming his .11 blood alcohol content on his chewing gum.
Dennis Murphy failed the Breathalyzer after he flew a plane with 151 passengers from Orlando to New York’s JFK Airport last April.
Commercial pilots can face federal charges when they have over .10% blood alcohol content.
He was released on a bond set at $50,000, and he faces at most 15 years in prison.
