NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa — A 24-year-old North Liberty man who was hospitalized with a lethally high blood alcohol level has been charged with drunken driving.

Authorities said Justin Clark was taken to a hospital on July 29 after he’d failed roadside tests.

Police said a breath test showed his blood alcohol level was nearly 0.5 percent. A blood test at the hospital showed it was just over 0.6 percent.
