My personal best was a PI with a BAC of .41%. Highest OWI I have had was .36%. I read the following article and wanted to see if anyone could best this one:
|
| The OWI I had at .36% was walking and talking fine but also failed HGN. She had just been released from prison that year for hitting and killing a jogger on a previous OWI. She had been in prison for 5 years so I couldn't charge her with a felony (in Indiana a 2nd OWI in 5 years is a felony charge). The only reason it had been over 5 years wsa because she hadn't had the opportunity to drink and drive again. |
To combat the monstrous hangover he would have for the next 3 days. |

When I worked at the local ER they had a career drinker come through with a 750 BAC. that would be around a .70 on a breathalyzer. He was a PIA to the Illinois people up until his demise last year. Tango, you probably know who I am talking about. Male, Native American always wore black. LOL. If you don't you are one of the few in northern Illinois that haven't run into this guy. |
Was he |
| not PD but we had a DUI fatality accident earlier this year that killed 5 people. the state just relesed the findings and the driver of the SUV and the front seat pass.(both died) had a BAC of .31. 2 other people in this SUV and a 2 year old in another truck were also killed. one pass. in the SUV was priority 1 to norfolk general was in ICU for weeks after the crash. the mother of the child was in the local hospital for 2 weeks 1 of which was ICU. bartender was fired because he told police the driver had been drinking when the rest of the staff at the bar told the PD they had not been drinking to try and protect themselves(the bar) and to make the family of the driver feel better because they are local rich people. driver of the SUV also had the active ingredients of marijuana in his system. along with that they had 3 cases of beer still sealed as well as several lose beers in the pass. compartment. that bar has since shut its doors for good. the bad part is the family of the driver held a fund raiser for the boy that lived, guess where they had it? at the bar the family owns. encourage drunks to come and party and celebrate being drunk to help someone hurt in a DUI accident. great morals there. |
I had a lady who crashed her car into a tree several years ago with a .43...and that was about 2 hours after the collision...it was a very busy night and there was a line to use the IO machines, and we have 5, not to mention the mobile IO bus which has several.
