Cinco de Mayo has long been a holiday more about drinking in the US than military victories in Mexico, and like many other drink-heavy holidays, DUIs are a likely outcome. This year’s story comes from Santa Ana, CA, where an unnamed young lady blew through a red light, then blew a .30:
The woman registered a .30 blood-alcohol level when she was given a field sobriety test, Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said. The legal limit is .08, and that’s for someone who has turned 21.
“I’ve never seen anybody that drunk,” Bertagna said. He said he has “no clue” how she was still functioning if she had that level of alcohol in her system.
