Liberty Lake Blotter: Woman blows 0.4 during welfare check
Liberty Lake Police were called to a woman’s residence twice in two days to check on her after people called to express concern for her welfare. Officers first responded to the 22800 block of East County Vista Drive on March 9.
The woman was intoxicated and a breath test measured her blood-alcohol level at 0.40, said Police Chief Brian Asmus. That is well above the legal limit of 0.08. The woman tried to refuse treatment, Asmus said. “She promised she wouldn’t die,” he said.
The woman was taken into protective custody and brought to a local hospital for treatment, Asmus said. Officers were called back to her home the next day for the same reason and sought treatment for her again, Asmus said.
