Why no mention of his bac? That's important information the public has a right to know... especially in this situation with him intoxicated while "working."

Bet it wasn't the first time.

Please make an example of him.

Please get quality, professional help and GET SOBER!

In a different online article:

"A legal blood draw was taken around 5:30 p.m., which showed Burney had a blood alcohol concentration of .086, which is above the legal limit, according to the affidavit."

Now I'm waiting for this to get appealed and the US supreme court to conjure up a new thing called "qualified sobriety" that says police are sober all the time, no matter if they are drunk or not.

He knew enough to refuse the blooddraw?

You can refuse the breath test but they can get a warrant for the blood draw.

For anyone thinking 0.086 is “barely over the limit”, keep in mind that was his limit when he got tested. He had time to sober up between getting caught and getting a blood draw and he STILL failed.
