Deputy's Blood-Alcohol Level More Than 4 Times Legal Limit

Last updated on Wednesday, September 17, 2014

(MUNCIE) - Police say preliminary test results show that a Central Indiana sheriff’s deputy had a blood-alcohol level more than four times the legal limit to drive when he was involved in a weekend crash.

A Muncie police report says a blood test on Delaware County Deputy Todd Daily found a blood-alcohol level of nearly 0.39 percent. The state's legal limit is 0.08 percent.

Muncie police Sgt. Michael Engle tells The Star Press it could be a few weeks before official test results are available.

Daily bonded out of jail Sunday morning after being arrested on drunk driving charges.
He'd been in the hospital following a four-car crash that police say he caused.

It happened Saturday in Muncie, injuring Daily and two others. Daily was off duty and driving his personal vehicle at the time.

Daily faces reckless driving charges, along with OWI with a blood alcohol content above 0.15. The Delaware County Sheriff is also conducting an internal investigation.
