Blowing a 0.116 is wild -- bro was going for the high score

According to the police report, Page’s truck did not move through “several” cycles of the traffic light, so the officer got out to check on him. He contacted Monroe police after seeing the open container in Page’s vehicle.

Page admitted to drinking at the golf course earlier and blew a 0.116 on the portable breathalyzer test. He was arrested for physical control. The court later dropped that charge, and Page pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of negligent driving. His sentence was suspended for two years, but he was ordered to submit to monitoring, attend alcohol classes and a DUI victim’s panel, and undergo an evaluation for alcoholism.

    0.116 isn't crazy. It's above the legal limit, but not high compared to being blackout drunk.

    Edit: More numbers after the decimal doesn't mean much. It rounds up to 0.12 which is just drunk, but not blackout drunk or anywhere near a record.

    Its 3-4 drinks in, at least. The open white claw and vodka bottle in the car also not a good sign, as is the fact that he was passed put at the wheel.

    Thats enough to now not get behind the wheel in a fucking car.
