Ladies and gentlemen, we may have a record here. Someone get the Guinness Book people on the phone. South Dakota authorities say a woman found passed out in a stolen delivery van recently registered a blood alcohol content of .708. That’s close to a whopping nine times the legal limit and a possible record for the state, if not the country.
Meade County State’s Attorney Jesse Sondreal said that 45-year-old Marguerite Engle was found slumped over the van’s steering wheel along a highway a couple of months ago.
Sondreal says the highest blood alcohol content state chemists he spoke with could prior recall was a .56.
The state’s legal limit is .08. Here’s the kicker – authorities say Engle missed an initial court hearing but that they found her shortly afterwards in another stolen vehicle.
She had been drinking again.
She was being held on two counts of driving under the influence.
It wasn’t immediately clear if she was facing other charges. Her attorney wisely declined comment. Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites
