A man with a blood-alcohol level nearly seven times the legal proof of intoxication in Wisconsin walked away from a Madison hospital after being taken there by police.

Officers were called to the 2900 block of Turbot Drive shortly before 6:30 p.m. Friday when a resident reported seeing the man lying on the ground after another man rang his doorbell, according to an incident report from the Madison Police Department.

The resident told the men to leave and called police. The man who rang the doorbell left, and police took the other man to a hospital after finding him unconscious.

The unconscious man, who carried no identification and had a blood-alcohol level of 0.559, later left the hospital against doctors' advice, according to the release.

For motor vehicle operators in Wisconsin, a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 or more is legal proof of intoxication.
