R.I. police say man had 0.491 blood alcohol level
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — State police say they arrested a man early Tuesday whose blood alcohol level was 0.491 percent — the highest ever recorded in Rhode Island for someone who wasn't dead.
Stanley Kobierowski was taken to a hospital, put in the detoxification unit and sedated, said Maj. Steven O'Donnell. He was arraigned Tuesday on charges of driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest, and he was released after promising to appear Friday at a court hearing.
"The person's lucky they survived," O'Donnell said. "There's no doubt he would have gotten killed or killed someone if he had continued on the route he was taking."
A phone listing for Kobierowski could not be found, and he did not have a lawyer in court Tuesday.
Kobierowski, 34, of North Providence, was arrested after he drove into a highway message board on Interstate 95 in Providence, O'Donnell said.
After police arrived, Kobierowski had trouble getting out of the car, then grabbed it and refused to move, forcing troopers to carry him to the breakdown lane before taking him back to their barracks, O'Donnell said.
A breath test showed blood alcohol readings of 0.489 percent, followed by 0.491, O'Donnell said, the highest readings state officials could remember for someone who didn't end up dead.
The legal limit in Rhode Island is 0.08. A level of 0.30 is classified as stupor, 0.4 is comatose and 0.5 is considered fatal, according to the health department.

Amen there. I know whaen I USE to drink , I would rive to the club , sober at the time. But after $100 worth of drinks I was in no shape to walk let alone drive so my now X Hubby would drive home because he didn't drink. Whats funny is totally snookered I could give him the correct directions on how to get home from New hampshire to maine *Shrug* And before ya ask we would go to NH to see a band I use to work for, I use to do their pics and website for them.

hmm 😮 lets see 1...one nasty hangover
2...2 asprins in the morning
3...a not so nice drive home..(as head is still pounding)
4...when you arrived home..you dashed to the fridge for a beer lol
my question is.. was he at a bar...the bartender should have known and called him a cab
or if at a party..the host should have taken the keys
if at home drinking..how the hell did he manage to find his keys..put them into the ignition without crashing right away...damn that is so stupid...if i had no means to get home at all i would walk it..or wave a police cruiser down to drive me home..yup they do that up here in ole Ontario lol..
