Woman Registers a .47 on Breath Tester

Apr 18 09:58 PM US/Eastern

REDMOND, Wash. (AP) - A Woodinville woman arrested following two car crashes last week registered a .47 blood-alcohol content on a breath test—nearly six times the legal intoxication threshold and possibly a state record.

 

Deana F. Jarrett, 54, was taken to Evergreen Hospital as a precaution following her arrest April 11, the Washington State Patrol said Wednesday. No one was injured in the accidents.

 

Jarrett blew the .47 on a portable breath tester after she collided with two other vehicles in quick succession, the patrol said. A check of all 356,000 breath tests administered since 1998 in Washington turned up only 35 above .40—and none of those was higher than .45.

 

The legal intoxication threshold in Washington is .08.

 

Jarrett did not appear to have a listed phone number, and it was not clear if she had obtained a lawyer.

 

holy crap

You have to be a serious alcoholic if you can blow a 0.4 BAC and still be able to open your car door and turn the key in the ignition.

 

That's what I was thinking. To actually get the car moving when that $hitfaced is amazing.
