Eau Claire man removes Braun-themed "8-CLEAN" license plate

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Jeff Tollefson of Eau Claire had a personalized Milwaukee Brewers license plate with the message "8-CLEAN." Now, as Brewers slugger Ryan Braun is serving a 65-game suspension, the license plate has been removed.

Tollefson says the license plate was actually a sarcastic response after hearing Braun's denials last year, when he won his appeal following a positive drug test.

However, with the latest controversy, the attention Tollefson was getting for the plate just became too much.

"A couple people were a little more aggressive with their gestures and you could tell they were probably supporters. And they didn't like the fact that I was kind of poking fun at him," Tollefson said.

The man now has a new plate, that he hopes will be less controversial. It's a Packers plate with the message: "NO WORRIES."
