Test results showed that Keim’s blood alcohol content was more than twice the legal limit, according to court and police documents.
The blood test taken on July 4, when Keim was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Chandler, revealed that his blood alcohol content was .193, just short of a super extreme DUI. An extreme DUI in Arizona is a blood alcohol content of .15 to .19. The legal limit is .08.
