TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Clearwater man who was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence had a blood alcohol level more than five times the legal limit, according to deputies.
According to an affidavit, deputies got a number of 911 calls about Michael Sewell, 42, driving a Nissan erratically in the area of East Lake Road and Eagle Cove Boulevard around 9:50 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10.
The deputy who pulled over Sewell noted his breath smelled like alcohol, he was unsteady on his feet and he had glassy and bloodshot eyes. He was unable to perform a field sobriety test, the affidavit said.
Sewell was transported to a facility in Clearwater and given a breathalyzer test. Deputies said he had a blood alcohol level of 0.418 on the first test and .0417 on the second, more than five times the legal limit of .08.

Lightweight.
By the old standards it’s only 4 times the legal limit.
It’s not just for breakfast anymore.
He was just gettin’ started. Maybe he would blow a 1.0 by dinnertime.
Bottle of Bloody Mary's, hold the bloody mary mix
If you’re going to drink all day, ya gotta start early.
Well it's a good way to avoid the hangover.
I thought it was water is the drunk Florida man’s equivalent to the murderer’s defense that I thought it wasn’t loaded.
>and .0417 on the second
Fire the proofreader if there is such a thing any longer.
And close to one time the lethal limit...
I had to review it as I wondered what in hell was he driving
that could make 5+ of legal speed limit on normal highways.
Then the alcohol test made sense.
Good catch. Dude musta sobered up fast!
Holy crap ... when do you call the ambulance?
That’s pro level stuff. You or I try to hit .417, the ticker is gonna hit the eject button.
Day Drinking, then going for a drive on the boulevard.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
That dude has some serious tolerance.
I am surprised he is not dead.
Too many Gatorade margaritas.
