 An East Naples man with a reported blood-alcohol content four times the legal limit for driving has been arrested and jailed on charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence and disorderly intoxication.

Arresting Collier County sheriff's deputy Kurt Miller reported being flagged down by patrons at Pelican Larry’s because of a man who had passed out at the bar.

Richard Allen Grauf was arrested after he awoke and became belligerent, yelling at bar patrons and the officer, a report states.

The report further states that he refused to comply with orders from the officer, holding onto a railing while Miller was trying to escort him from the scene, kicking an assisting officer in the groin and threatening the lives of both officers at the hospital, telling them “that he has killed people.”

According to the report, the doctor who attended to Grauf told the officers his blood-alcohol content, the concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream, was 0.342 percent. A blood-alcohol content of 0.08 percent is the legal limit to operate a vehicle.
