.35 is enough to be sometimes fatal. Not like the low .08 legal limits now.

[blackdog]

Guilt or innocence is yet to be posted.

.35 , most folks would not be walking and talking at that level. I wonder about the state of her liver.

After at least 12 years of this, I suspect we know.

Also, apparently someone did allow her to get in the vehicle (I don’t know how interlocks work). Is that person also on the hook?

charged with operating while under the influence, driving while license is denied or revoked, and tampering or circumventing with an ignition interlock device.

Apparently not her first rodeo.

Many years ago (forty, to be precise), I was arrested with a DUI. I blew .14, and I certainly was in no shape to drive. .35? Stay away from open flames....

[blackdog]

That’s a champion mare right there.

According to the criminal complaint, she failed two and showed signs of impairment during the ones she completed.

That's impressive that she could pass impairment tests at 0.35!

I’ve heard of long-term alcoholics going into withdrawal (DTs) if they drop BELOW 0.200

The jokes write themselves on this headline.

When I was an EMT, we frequently had people “blow dead”. We stuck IV’s everywhere.

Well, she has been getting hammered for at least 12 years now - alcohol can lose its effect on long-term boozers.

They say Bela Lugosi was reduced to drinking formaldehyde in his last years.

When I was an MP in San Diego we had a retired CPO blow a .45. We call an ambulance.

What does Lia Thomas have to do with this? Was she swimming in alcohol?

North Liberty is now a connected part of the Iowa City metroplex (the “Berkeley” of Iowa). Blowing a .351 isn’t even in the top 500 list of weird s**t in NL anymore, even if it is done by a midget transvestite on a unicycle.

Wait, wait, wait! I want to see that!

Hey neighbor, could you do me a solid?

I need a bit of your breath to get me on my way home.

We’ve all been asked to do this on many occasions, haven’t we?

"State told them that she hadn’t been drinking"

Yep, she already drank it all, finished it off.
