(COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa) Pottawattamie county

Summary:BS OWI chargeCase description:I was found in a field approx 2 hours after leaving a bar in Carbon, Iowa, heading for Gravity, Iowa on my motorcycle. I had 4 draft beers in about an hour and a half. I was unconscious when they found me, and was resuscitated (sp?) at Creighton hospital in Omaha. So for all intents and purposes, I was technically dead!! They waited until about a month after the accident to issue a warrant for me for OWI. The blood test was .072 or .074 (taken at Creighton, I understand.) I remember absolutely nothing about the accident, and I have pieced together pretty much ALL of the accident from doctors and nurses who worked on me. I broke the long bone in my left arm, requiring surgery to replace the ball end of the bone that was shattered. My right wrist had a small crack and was wrapped and splinted. I had a big knot on my forehead, which was the result of the concusion. I went to Corning to see the motorcycle the very day I was released from the hospital to see if there was a front or rear blowout, or paint scrapings from another vehicle, or hair from a deer...something, anything that might have caused me to go off the road, but found nothing. Maybe I shouldn't say it, but perhaps a pink elephant jumped out in front of me... or a racoon or a skunk, or a deer, I remember absolutely nothing. I have been riding bikes since I was 13 years old, and I'm 70 now, so I'm NOT an inexperienced rider, and 4 beers isn't enough to make me drive off into a field rather than follow the curve, affectionately known as "Dead Man's Curve" by the locals. I am of the feeling that the .074 blood alcahol level was as high as it ever was, and that my being unconscious for those 2 hours slowed down my heart rate and my circulation enough to not have come down from a higher number. Something had to cause me to go off that curve, but it certainly wasn't my being drunk on 4 beers, especially when all beer in Iowa is only 3.2% alcahol.So please call me (after noon preferably) at my home number and I can fill in the blanks with all the hearsay stories I have heard. I have a Dr. Appt in Atlantic tomorrow, so I on't be home at least until after 3 PM.
