RAPID CITY, S.D. - South Dakota authorities say a woman found passed out in a stolen delivery van earlier this month registered a blood alcohol content of .708 — nearly nine times the legal limit and a possible record for the state.
Meade County State's Attorney Jesse Sondreal said Wednesday that 45-year-old Marguerite Engle was found slumped over the van's steering wheel along a highway on Dec. 1.
I think they better calibrate their Breathalyzer. An alcohol content that high is beyond fatal.
That was blood alcohol content, not PBT (breathalyzer) test. Anything over .4 is fatal in 50% of the cases. But with that amount of use and abuse a person develops a tolerance to alcohol.
If that would have been fatal she would have already been embalmed.
