"What happened?" Elmwood Park Officer Charles Keenan asks Lizardo after checking on the multiple victims — including one driver who required extrication — at the scene.
"I don't even know," Lizardo replies.
Multiple people at the scene informed arriving officers that Lizardo reeked of alcohol.
"How much did you have to drink today?" Keenan asks.
Then comes a long pause from Lizardo.
"I don't know," he eventually says.
Samples of Lizardo's breath taken at EPPD headquarters showed he had a BAC of 0.16%, DriveThruTours reports — was double the legal limit of 0.08%.
