There's "drunk" and then there's "super drunk".

WDIV (Detroit) reporter Kevin Dietz crossed over the line into the "super drunk" category and is now sitting behind bars and has been for a while.

Dietz sits in Motown Jail for violating what is called the "Super Drunk" driving law.

Cops busted Dietz back in February. They say he was driving with a blood alcohol level of .17 or more. THat is more than double the legal limit. 

Dietz sits behind bars, where he has been since April 18. He's serving a 30 day sentence.

Dietz's driving license has been suspended through May 2014 for violating the "Super Drunk" driving law and for his refusal to take a breathalyzer.

WDIV's web site posted a statement from Dietz, which says, "I am deeply sorry for my actions. I made a mistake for which i apologize to my family, WDIV and to the viewers. I accept full responsibility and am taking the necessary steps to deal with this matter."
