TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida man got arrested after driving drunk with so much alcohol in his system that he was four times the legal limit, according to deputies.

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office released body cam video Friday showing a traffic stop on Dec. 22.

Deputies said a concerned citizen called them after seeing a man driving recklessly in the area of State Road 100 West and County Road 202.

During the traffic stop, the unnamed man admitted to being “f— up” and refused to do a sobriety test.

“Cause you’ll probably make me do some dances,” the man said.

A deputy then put the man in handcuffs and admonished him for driving drunk.

Title lightly edited to remove profanity, per JimRob. The instance in the excerpt provides definite #FloridaMan context, so hopefully, it will pass muster.

“so much alcohol in his system that he was four times the legal limit”

Doncha know, he was fighting that WuHu.
If you’re gonna do it, go all the way!

Florida Man in general deserves a .16 BAC before being considered impared. Florida Man at .08 is before his start the day coffee.

He was just getting warmed up.

My friend’s Dad was a cop. (retired)
A group of us, all Irish, used to get drunk and watch Tombstone.
It was interesting when we got too drunk, and games insued.

1. Seeing how long you could stand while being tased.

2. Who can blow the highest BAC.

My high was .38

[real saxophonist]

I blew a .196, once upon a time...

So, sounds like the drunk was going almost 240 MPH, where the limit was only 60 MPH? That's actually kind of impressive! \sarc

;>)

[EEGator]

I have faith that you can do better!...

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Well, this guy blew a .301, so he definitely counts.

Ready to donate blood to a mortician for embalming?

[Karliner]

He should get a medal for still being able to drive.

[EEGator]

I quit drinking...

[Bonemaker]

He was too drunk to walk so he had to drive.

[plain talk]

Glad to hear.

[HockeyPop]

.38. Why am I not surprised.

“My high was .38.”

You’re lucky you weren’t in a coma.

[real saxophonist]

Not these days...

One of the original Krupp steelworks founders was told by his doctor to limit his alcohol consumption to one glass a day.

So he had a glassblower make a glass that held a couple of bottles.

I don’t know, but isn’t that much alcohol in your system pretty close to lethal dose?

Ethyl alcohol is a biological poison, you know.

The worst I ever saw in AF JAG was a .349, by a SAC supervisor of flying no less. Obviously an alcoholic because he blew that at 1700 after working that job all day.
