Sometimes there are those news events that take place which are so bizarre that you wonder why some people engage in such stupid and idiotic behavior.
A good example of this can be seen South Dakota when state troopers arrested Marguerite Engle for having a blood alcohol level of .708.
What happened was a stolen van was spotted on the side of the road on December 1st. When officers approached the vehicle they found Engle passed out and behind the wheel of the vehicle.
After giving her a blood alcohol test it was determined that her blood alcohol level was nearly nine times that of the legal limit for South Dakota (which is .08) and is above the safe limit for safely consuming alcohol of .40.
Perhaps the most astonishing part of the story was that she was even alive. Levels of .40 are considered lethal.
“She was almost double that,” Meade County State’s Attorney Jesse Sondreal told the Daily News Thursday. “The BAC is almost incomprehensible.”
The highest blood-alcohol level previously recorded in South Dakota was .56, reports the Daily News.
To make matters even worse when Engle was out on bail she was found again in another stolen vehicle, with her passed out behind the wheel. The blood alcohol level of the latest incident is still yet to be determined.
What this shows is that some people engage in such irresponsible behavior that they take some of the most dubious honors, in the case of Engel hers is having the highest blood alcohol level ever recorded.
