Yeah that has to be a typo. 0.1 not 1.0. Still over the limit and should not be driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's .1? That's what I thought at first but no one else seemed to think so. .1 wouldn't concern me that much. Didn't that use to be the legal limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 1.0 would be 100% blood alcohol level. Does that actually make sense to people? A 0.1 level, you can be at that level barely be feeling buzzed. It’s the weapons charge that likely has him in hot water. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard from more than one Highway patrol officers before it will likely drop to 0.06 in the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know much about this stuff There's 4 degrees. Mostly separated by add on factors like previous DWI's or failing to take a test, etc. Quote First Degree DUI is a felony level charge and the most serious degree; Fourth Degree (which used to be called Misdemeanor Driving While Impaired) is the lowest degree of DUI charge. First Degree DUI is what an individual is charged with when the individual drove while impaired AND the individual has EITHER three or more “qualified prior driving incidents” in the last ten years, OR the individual has a prior conviction of felony DUI. Second Degree DUI is a Gross Misdemeanor offense, and is defined as driving while impaired when two or more aggravating factors are present. If the offense is a refusal to take a chemical test (refusing the Implied Consent), then only one aggravating factor is required to charge a Second Degree DUI. Third Degree DUI is also a Gross Misdemeanor but requires only one aggravating factor (or no additional aggravating factor if the offense is a refusal to test). Fourth Degree DI refers to the basic offense, driving while impaired, with no aggravating factors or qualified prior driving incidents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's factors involved besides person size. a 215 pound man reaches a .10 bac after six drinks or beers, if consumed in one hour. but if it was at 3:40 am, he probably was drinking for more than that time period.

PrplChilPill Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I hope he goes to jail. Drunk driving, driving around a barricade? I could not care less about the impact on the Vikings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not care less about the impact on the Vikings. I agree that the fact he is a Viking player should have no bearing on the consequence. If guilty, I do not believe his consequence should be any lighter or harsher than what would happen to any of us. Putting him in jail does seem a bit harsh compared to the allegation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
