A man driving in Providence, R.I. was arrested by the state police and was discovered with a blood alcohol level of 0.491%.  Early Tuesday seems to have a real event as the man broke the records with the highest percent of blood alcohol ever recorded in Rhode Islands, because he wasn’t dead.

The man, identified as Stanley Kobierowski, 34, was taken to the hospital, as Maj. Steven O’Donnell said. He was then put in detoxification unit and sedated. After he was caught drunk on Tuesday, he was charged of driving while intoxicated and also of resisting arrest. Later, he was released as he promised to appear on court on Friday.

Kobierowski’s phone listing couldn’t be found, as well as he didn’t have a lawyer in court on Tuesday. O’Donnell stated that the man was lucky not to have been killed or not to have killed anyone, regarding his level of alcohol.

Kobierowski is from North Providence and he was driving on Interstate 95 in Providence. After the police stopped him, he had trouble getting out of his car and he refused arrest, obliging the police to carry him to the breakdown lane.

The legal limit of blood alcohol level is 0.08 in Rhode Island. According to the health department, 0.30 is classified as stupor, 0.4 as comatose and 0.5 is considered fatal. This was really a hell of a luck for Kobierowski not to be dead when the police arrested him.
