A Pierce County woman apparently tied a record for the amount of alcohol in her blood.
When the Washington State Patrol toxicology lab measured a blood-alcohol content of 0.50 two hours after she was arrested for drunken driving.
Ann Marie Gordon, manager of the lab in Seattle, said the reading _ more than six times the legal limit of 0.08 _ tied the highest level ever found by technicians at the patrol's lab.
A King County driver also registered 0.50 on a blood test in 2000, Gordon said.
The average blood-alcohol content of drunken drivers stopped in Washington is about 0.15, Gordon added.
