UK Greek Pledge Kills 4 year-old in DUI Crash After Murray State Game. BAC: .051

The University of Kentucky freshman accused in last weekend’s DUI crash that fatally injured a 4-year-old boy had a blood-alcohol level of 0.051 percent after the crash.
In a report filed Tuesday in Fayette Circuit Court, police said 18-year-old Jacob Heil was given a blood test after the crash. Police say Heil did not take a breath test at the scene of the crash.
quote:
The student, 18-year-old Jacob Heil, is accused of being under the influence of alcohol about 2 p.m. Saturday when the vehicle he was driving crashed into a father and his young son along Cooper Avenue, not far from where a game was being played at the University of Kentucy’s football stadium.
quote:
The drunken driving threshold for adults in Kentucky is 0.08 percent or higher. However, because Heil is underage there is no acceptable limit for minors.
[NEW INFORMATION]:
In a campus-wide email, the President of UK stated:
quote:
1) The UK Police Department has opened an investigation and is working closely with Lexington Police. In preparation for this Saturday night’s game, UK police will install additional lighting along heavily traveled roads around the stadium.
2) The student involved in the accident has been suspended from the University, pending the outcome of investigations by Lexington and UK Police and our Office of Student Conduct.
3) The fraternity where the student has been a pledge – Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) – has been suspended on an interim basis, pending these same investigations. An interim suspension means all fraternity activities must immediately cease. Members may remain in their house during this time. A University employee has moved in to serve as a resident director. Administrative staff with the Dean of Students Office are working with the organization’s national chapter -- which also is conducting an investigation -- to ensure appropriate actions are taken.

Sucks it happened but he wasn’t drunk by any means

Horrible situation but .05 isn’t drunk

How much money does his family has. I hear affluenza is a good defense.

Doesn't LA have some crazy low DUI threshold, like 0.02, for minors? Maybe KY has some similar law. But as far as level of impairment goes, 0.051 ain't shite.

This is a legit case where him being a legal adult should give him the same legal standard as other adults (i.e. BAC of .08 to be legally drunk).
Why do some adults get some legal rights that others don't?
All that said its tragic what happened, I just disagree with the DWI ruling.
To further this point, he will now be facing the full adult judicial system while being guided by standards meant for minors.

For a freshman in college who might not have much experience with alcohol it could be. I'd wager that if this kid had a 0.0 level that 4 year old is alive today

0.05
That’s 3 1/2 12 oz light beers over 3 hours for a male about 165.

I presume that the chess club similarly gets suspended when one member does stupid shite?

Seems like we have no idea how long before the test was administered either.

Will this kid do time?
Posted on 9/18/18 at 4:24 pm to DustyDinkleman
First and only time I will post this way over used saying.
Could have been me.
I legitimately shudder at the absolutely stupid shite I did in College. Especially getting staggering drunk and driving from Tiger Land to campus. That was many, many years ago and I still get mad at myself.

Who knows. Why was I not able to sleep in my girlfriends sorority house at Bama while a lesbian chick would hypothetically be allowed to have her girlfriend stay over? We say we’re against public universities discriminating based on age, gender, religion, race until we decide that we aren’t against it

Maybe, but theres other factors here. Was the arrested driver at fault for the actual accident? Was the infant buckled in properly? Or is he being blamed simply because he got in a fatal wreck.
I only say this because .05 is not blacked out drunk. In fact if he had been 3 years older I doubt this makes the national news.

.05 is two beers in an hour or hour and a half. In my younger days, I regularly drank 3 beers in an hour, and was under .08 as per the breathalyzer in my truck that got calibrated once a month

Damn. Sad story all around.
a-hole that killed my mother registered .280
Now’s that’s drunk.
