Police said Mr. Costa appeared to be intoxicated and they also found alcohol inside his vehicle. Police said Mr. Costa agrred to take a breathalyzer test — results allegedly showed that Mr. Costa's blood alcohol level was nearly four times above the legal limit. He was later transported to the hospital for detox.
