.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.

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....

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!

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

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

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.

Hmm. This give me an idea. Synthetic ‘blowing’ machines to blow clean synthetic breath to unlock interlocks for drunks. How else are they suppose to get home?

She could have blown into her gas tank and saved some money on fuel.

I’m surprised she was capable of asking anyone to do anything ...

She was either a, “professional drinker” or probably just drinking before testing, while sitting in the car. Those aren’t totally accurate if you’ve been drinking in the last ten minutes, and you will blow high. My husband and his buddies had one and it came with a disclaimer saying that one should wait a minimum of ten minutes from your last drink before testing.

Side note: In high school, we lost a classmate to a BAC of 0.32, causing alcohol poisoning. He was 18.

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.
