The drug test is in for the man arrested for the murder of a Louisville Metro Police Officer.
James Woods was found to have had a blood-alcohol level of .28 — more than three times the legal limit — as well as cocaine and opiates in his bloodstream when he crashed into Officer Nick Rodman on March 28, The Courier-Journal reports.
Rodman was chasing Woods after a domestic assault call when Woods hit Rodman’s cruiser head on.
