ORTH LIBERTY, Iowa (KCRG/Gray News) - A woman in Iowa faces multiple charges after asking gas station customers to blow into her interlock device.

Officers with the North Liberty Police Department were dispatched on July 4 to a Kwik Star, where there was a report of a woman asking people to blow into her interlock device for her.

Police found 34-year-old Kristin State sitting in the driver’s seat of a running vehicle when they arrived at the scene. According to a criminal complaint, State was the only one in the car.

Officers made contact with State and noticed a strong smell of alcohol. Police also said that State had watery and bloodshot eyes, and slurred and delayed speech.

State told them that she hadn’t been drinking.

The officers asked State to perform some standardized field sobriety tests. According to the criminal complaint, she failed two and showed signs of impairment during the ones she completed.

Testing revealed State’s blood alcohol content to be .351.

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

State has had three prior operating while under the influence convictions within the past 12 years.

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

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?

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....

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

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.

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.
