19-Year-Old Inver Grove Man Transported to Regions After .332 BAC

On Dec. 27 around 9:45 p.m. Inver Grove Heights Police had a 19-year-old man transported via ambulance to Regions Hospital after he blew a .332 breath-alcohol concentration and issued an underage consumption citation.

Officers initially responded to a call for a welfare check and underage consumption of alcohol in the 2100 block of 49 Way.

According to the report: The man had been drinking “since he woke up that morning” and locked himself in his bedroom. A family member was concerned because the man had made comments on Facebook about hurting himself.

When officers arrived the man was cooperative and let them into his room and admitted he “had been drinking and was depressed” but denied making self-hurt comments online. He said he “had no idea why his family would call (police) to check on him.”

He stumbled as he walked and talked and conceded to talking the breath-test. Because his level was high and he admitted to being depressed officers considered the man a danger to himself and suggested he go to the hospital.

The man cooperated and went to the hospital and police left the citation.
