He admitted to drinking two pints of beer earlier in the evening at a local Gainesville club, Vecinos, between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. Maxham agreed to perform field sobriety exercises, which the officer noted showed multiple signs of impairment. He was subsequently arrested and transported to the Alachua County Jail, where he registered a blood alcohol level of 0.082 — just over the legal limit — over three hours after the crash occurred.Maxham, who joined WUFT and the Florida Public Radio Emergency Network in January, has over 15 years of experience as a broadcast meteorologist, covering major weather events across the United States.
