An Iowa City, Iowa man was so intoxicated that when given a breath test, the Breathalyzer wasn't able to calculate it.

The Iowa City Press Citizen writes that the police responded to a call from a woman who claimed to be 28-year-old Levi B. Carter's accomplishment is one that's truly horrifying.

Local TV news reported that the Carter's passenger at about 2 am Friday morning.

She told them he had driven off the road and hit a street sign. When the authorities arrived to Carter's home they found him in his basement, "talking to people that were not there." He wasn't able to stand without holding himself up, and "smelled strongly of alcohol."

Carter told police he had only drank two Bud Lights.

He failed an eye test and was unable to complete any other field sobriety tests.

When they administered the Breathalyzer test, the Press Citizen writes he, "…provided a weak breath into a preliminary breath test and the last reading was .467 before the device just read 'HI.' I don't think you will be surprised to find out he was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated."
