The results showed that Rea’s blood alcohol content was three times over the legal limit, according to the report.
K9 Bear was deployed to conduct a free air search of the vehicle and reportedly indicated to the presence of narcotics. Police say a subsequent search by the officer found a small amount of suspected cocaine inside the vehicle.
Rea was arrested on preliminary charges of operating a vehicle with a BAC of .15 or more, operating a vehicle while intoxicated – endangering, operating a vehicle without ever receiving a license, and possession of cocaine.
Suspects are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
