My husband sneaked into the hospital to dilute his blood sample! Imprisonment!, A woman found guilty of drunk driving

According to Southern Metropolis Daily, a man in Dongguan recently went to the hospital in the early hours of the morning to help his wife, who was drunk driving, evade punishment by stealing a doctor's white coat and infiltrating the testing room of the identification center. He diluted the blood sample sent by his wife with water, resulting in a test result of zero ethanol content in the blood. At present, the man involved has been criminally detained by the local public security department, and his wife suspected of drunk driving has also been punished by the traffic police department in accordance with the law.

The above report stated that on the evening of August 7th, the Dongguan Traffic Police Wanjiang Brigade deployed police forces to set up checkpoints for night inspections on Guansui Road in its jurisdiction. At around 1:45 am the next day, the on duty personnel discovered that the driver of a small car was suspected of drunk driving. On site, a breath alcohol test was conducted on driver Huang, and the result was 162mg/100ml.

Subsequently, the on duty personnel sent Huang to the hospital for blood testing. However, on the morning of August 8th, Huang's test results showed that the ethanol content in his body's blood was 0.

The results were obviously abnormal, and the investigating police immediately launched an investigation. In the end, it was found that Huang's husband, Zhu, was suspected of committing the crime. He diluted the blood samples sent for testing with water.

The investigation found that Zhu, in order to help his wife evade punishment, went to the hospital at around 4:45 am and stole a doctor's white coat while wandering in the hospital. At around 5:04 am, Zhu secretly entered the testing room of the hospital appraisal center and diluted the blood samples sent by Huang with water, resulting in a test result of 0. Zhu confessed to his illegal behavior without hesitation.

The man entered the hospital laboratory wearing a white coat

The investigating police officer resubmitted Huang's blood backup sample for testing. The results showed that the ethanol content in Huang's blood was 161.9mg/100ml, indicating drunk driving.

Netizens question: Is he a doctor? Why does he test himself? How do you know where blood oxygen is? Some netizens also said that even if he can get a white coat and enter the hospital appraisal center, why can he be so professional on site "diluted with water"?

Today, a staff member from the office of Wanjiang Brigade of Dongguan Traffic Police Detachment replied to the reporter, "I am from the office, not the party involved. If necessary, please contact Dongguan Traffic Police." The reporter also contacted the News Department of Dongguan Propaganda Department and the Propaganda Department of Dongguan Traffic Police, but has not received a response so far.

Is "water dilution" using water to dilute?

The reporter learned from consulting with multiple professionals that theoretically, by mixing a certain amount of water into the blood collection vessel, the ethanol concentration is reduced, and the sample does not reach the detection limit, which may indeed evade relevant criminal responsibility. "But this situation is difficult to occur."

Usually, during road patrols, traffic police departments conduct breath tests on relevant personnel on site. Once a situation is discovered, they usually take them to the hospital for blood collection as soon as possible. The blood sample is usually drawn in two tubes, each tube is about 5 milliliters, and the blood collection tube is also called a vacuum negative pressure blood collection tube.

According to relevant sources, injecting water into a blood sample with an alcohol content of 162mg/100ml to reduce the ethanol content to 0 requires at least 100 times more water. If the blood sample is mixed with more than 100 times water, the normal blood color cannot be seen. "The diluted blood collection tube is obviously different from the normal one, and it doesn't look right at first glance. How could it still be detected?"

In addition, even if the blood sample is "diluted" with more than 100 times water and the alcohol concentration is reduced, the detection equipment can only display below "1".

So, it is difficult to achieve zero ethanol display on the device by injecting water into a blood sample that has reached a drunken concentration.

Several individuals engaged in blood testing have stated that when a blood sample of drunk driving is diluted with water, it shows zero ethanol. This situation has never been encountered, nor has such an experiment been conducted. The testing equipment has never seen a display of zero unless there is no trace of alcohol in the sample.

"One possibility is that the detected blood sample is no longer normal, so the 0 displayed by the testing device is not the so-called alcohol content."

Another possibility is that the man did not "dilute with water", but instead "swapped" the blood sample and replaced it with a blood collection tube without alcohol concentration. However, this probability is also very, very small. "

According to relevant sources, the blood collection tubes of suspected drunk drivers are equipped with barcodes, and each barcode matches the personal information of the suspected drunk driver. If a man directly "switches" and the "blood collection tube" after the "switch" does not have a barcode, he can immediately see the abnormality. If there is a barcode, where does it come from?

Several professionals have stated that currently, traffic police are still the first to go to the hospital for blood sampling of suspected drunk drivers, and the entire blood sampling process is recorded on video. After the hospital draws blood, it is not necessary to keep the blood sample in the hospital. The traffic police will take the blood sample away as soon as possible and then hand it over to a professional testing institution for an appraisal report, unless there are other local regulations in Dongguan.

The reporter learned that the "hospital" mentioned in the report is actually a testing center affiliated with the hospital. How did the man in question sneak into the hospital, how did he get his white coat, how did he enter the testing room of the hospital appraisal center, and how did he "dilute" blood samples with water? These details are yet to be announced by the police regarding the investigation results.
