.32 at 6:00pm

I had a guy blow a .32 three hours after he turned from the inside lane into my patrol car in the outside lane.  He was trying to turn into a gas station on the other side of me and I apparently got in his way.  Saw him coming at the last second and did my best to avoid it but he kept turning until he hit me.  I had to wait for him to sober up enough to follow directions for the BAC.  I have never enjoyed arresting someone so much in my life.  Just glad it was my patrol car that got hit  instead of an innocent family.

I have been retired since 1986 so it's been a long time since I was involved. In 1984 I placed a 17 year old boy in protective custody because he was having a problem standing up at a local convenience store , and he was emanating a strong odor of alcoholic beverage from his breath. At the station I gave him a test on my S&W 900-A breathalyzer. (best there was back then, manual operation required with a pr-packaged test sample at .15%) Much to my surprise he blew a .460 , and a second test of the same.  I called his Father and gave him the test result and put him in his Fathers custody to take him to the Hospital and also gave the Hospital the heads up and they pumped his stomach and  he made it. Six or seven days later I got a thank you note from the parents including a promise that they would keep a closer reign on the boy and his drinking from then on.

Feel like a rookie lately, highest recently was Sat. night 27 yr. old female .237 and she claims she only drank 3 beers and a shot in last 4 hours.  Love-em

.42, dude was passed out in his truck at a RR crossing... foot still on the brake.  I put the truck in park.  No response from him with a sturnum rub from the key ring tab on my kubaton and no response from the kubaton on the earlobe pinch.

I've had a couple breath tests that were .29, but my highest blood test was .34.  It was a 62 yo woman at 4pm.  She almost hit an off duty Trooper that was going home after work. 

.525 walking and talking !    He died like 8 months later............of a stabbing !

.247 involved in a domestic incident and did not remember choking his girl friend 5 minutes prior. I had to carry him to the car b/c he couldn't walk and I could not understand a word he was saying.

 Light weights..................................................................

A .40, on a guy who drank a quart or more (he was not sure) of cheap Vodka, two days later, you could still had ETOH sell comming out of his mouth and skin.  He was a life long drunk, who a couple of years later he was given state time after 7 DUI convictions.

Highest so far , that I have seen was ( .37)

.28 is the highest test I have had, I know a couple that refused that were alcoholics and would have been in the high 3's or low 4's. Highest non arrest test i've heard of was .51 walking and talking. He drank 2 bottles of vodka a day!! I had a 21yo at .26 a month ago and he could hardly stand up!

I never had a high BAC, had one who was loaded, but she refused and then died before went to trial. 

I did have a .44 IIP (Intox in Public) found her face down all twisted and contorted,,,thought she was dead.  I gave her a PBT to find out what her level of intox was for rescue.  And she was on her way to her car, apparently passed out on the stairs 100 yards from the parking spot

Had a guy when I was in the Marine Corps as an MP in 86 who ended up with a BAC .699 by blood when he got to the hospital.  He died three times on the way.  But he survived, attended Top Drunk at Miramar, and returned to duty.  Oh, I forgot to say he was also a MP.

Was 0.389% - winter 2008 here in Oz/SA,  and the fella, (who was 61 mind you), was on the way to an AA meeting.... He didn't look at all faculty impaired, just a random driver screening test for alcohol....  Just shows sometimes you just cant tell.....

.37 was the highest, it was about 6:30 pm.
