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.

I was thinking the same thing. 35 mph would be 175 mph. 70 would be 350 mph.

No statement like “Do you know who I am and the people know?”

I remember when the limit was 0.15%, so he would then be less than 3 times the legal limit.
