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.
