He was booked with a .161. Twice the legal limit.
And that's 0.161 from the blood draw which is generally taken anywhere from an hour to several hours afterwards as it takes time to get them to the hospital for the blood draw. Even expedited would be closer to 30 mins which for someone with a high metabolism is a LOT of time for the liver to process that alcohol.
So, at the time of the accident, it was higher...maybe significantly so. Conversely, there have been several celebrity DUIs where between the celeb and their atty, they delayed the blood draw enough that the BAC was either under or barely over the limit as opposed to several times over which is what it likely was.
So yeah, to get a .161 on a draw??? He was toasted.
