Pontiac MI -- An Oakland County Sheriff's deputy has been charged under Michigan's new "super drunk" driving law after police said he lead officers on a dangerous chase Sunday afternoon through Oxford.
Michael Daves, a 19-year veteran with Pontiac police and now a Sheriff's deputy, led police on, what officers called, an ultra drunk, ultra dangerous chase.
Witnesses called 911 with descriptions of a wild chase.
"I mean, he's all over the road, severely," said a 911 caller.
Daves was wearing a fraternal order of police uniform and badge at the time of the chase and arrest and was driving wildy on the road, police said. He nearly hit other vehicles and a person jogging.
"He almost hit a jogger on M-24," said a 911 caller.
Lake Orion Police Chief Jerry Narsh said Daves took off when officers first stopped him and approached his car.
When he finally stopped and was arreseted he blew a .25 blood alcohol level, then a .29 and finally a .28. He easily doubled the legal limit of .08. The state's "super drunk" benchmark is .17.
A drunk driving attorney said that number indicates off-the-chart intoxication.

3.2? you’d be dead
Do you have some sort of reading difficulty? ("Stupidly didn't ask what my number was.") All I know is he told me I was free to go on my way.

Thank God he did not kill or injure anyone! It’s always sad when someone wrecks themselves like this. I hope he can kick the habit without any more trouble and heal what he’s done.
“Bourbon is what I was drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-drunk.”
The drinking age was 18and there were plenty of places that never carded.
My personal best was a 3.2
Surely you mean 0.32%, I’m pretty sure that at 3 your corpse becomes inflammable.
Not only that, but I used to show proof that I was 17! (Hmmm, brown eyes, red hair, six feet. You're okay.) ML/NJ
.26 and .27 in 1979, quit drinking about 8 years ago
Many, many journalists are just flat out innumerate.
Sad, really.
If you think you’ll be somewhere in traffic at the same time with police officers who are just leaving their annual golf outing, you may want to consider taking an alternate route or making the trip another day.
Same here. Its gotten to the point where a single drink is enough.
