Powderly Defends Man Who Blew .491

August 1st, 2008 · No Comments

Rhode Island State Police arrested a man last week for driving under the influence after he blew a .491 on a breathalyzer test.  The 34 year old man is being represented by Powderly Criminal Defense.

The legal limit of blood alcohol level in Rhode Island is .08, however .4 is considered comatose and .5 lethal.  The fact that the defendant blew a .491 is not only extraordinary, but questionable considering he was respondent while science concludes he should have been dead.

During the first breathalyzer test administered by police he blew a .489 then followed by the .491, the highest blood alcohol recorded in Rhode Island for a living person.
