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.

I know a guy who had a few DUI’s, so he got a Tesla that would drive him home from the bar.

I once processed a woman with a BAC of .31. She was standing and talking like a sober person. Most people would have been comatose before getting to that point. To make matters even worse, I knew her husband from the Air National Guard, where he was a maintainer and I was aircrew. I never once brought it up with him.
