Blood-alcohol test results released Friday show Jerramy Stevens of the Seattle Seahawks was nearly three times over the state's legal limit when arrested March 13 in Scottsdale on suspicion of drunken driving.
Stevens' blood-alcohol content was 0.204 percent, which places Stevens in the extreme DUI category, Scottsdale police Sgt. Mark Clark said. Arizona's legal limit is 0.08 percent. In Arizona, extreme DUI's are 0.15 or more and can bring a 30-day jail sentence.
Stevens, who is scheduled to appear in court April 2, reportedly told officers he had “four or five” margaritas before he was stopped around 2:30 a.m. for driving erratically along Indian School Road near 84th Street.
Officers reported that he was visibly intoxicated, describing his eyes as “bloodshot, watery and half-closed.”
Police drew Stevens' blood with a search warrant when he reportedly refused to take a breathalyzer test.
The Bellevue, Wash. resident, 27, was arrested on charges of DUI and possession of marijuana after police reportedly found drugs in his back pocket. He was released on bail after police booked him into the Scottsdale City Jail.
