Texas Field Sobriety Tests

As big as the state is, and with its vast landscape, Texas DUIs are still a major concern in Texas. Because of this epidemic, DUI checkpoints are popping up all over in counties like Bell, Brazos, Falls, Lampasas, Robertson and Lee. If you encounter a checkpoint, police will ask you to exit the vehicle, inspect your car and ask you to perform field sobriety tests on the spot. Do not be fooled by their tricks though. Sobriety tests are very tricky and are actually designed for failure.
The only people who can disprove them are skilled Texas DUI lawyers. A DUI attorney knows how to defend you correctly and had the knowledge to fight the prosecution so you will be able to save your driver’s license and minimize jail time. Many companies offer free consultations if you are convicted. Act soon because the DUI process will not wait for you to make decisions.

Another Police Officer Pulled Over for a DUI

Last weekend, Washington Police Chief David P. Baker had been sentenced to serve 5 days in prison after being arrested for a DUI. The trial, lasting close to one month brought no surprise to anyone considering the crackdown on Washington DUIs. While in prison, Baker will serve time away from the other 515 inmates for everyone’s safety. Police who end up in jail tend to be threatened more so than other inmates for obvious reasons.
If a police chief can be arrested for a DUI, there is no reason why any of us would not be arrested either. Cops are doing their jobs out there and will arrest you if there is any suspicion in his/her mind. What you need to do is get in touch with a Washington DUI Attorney who can handle your case and save you from a major headache later down the road. Call these guys if you find yourself in trouble.

DUI Arrest Results in Death!!!

Riverside County sheriff's homicide detectives are investigating the death of a suspected drunken driver who was arrested and died shortly after.

Witnesses had reported a red Ford F-150 driving erratically that veered off the road into the dirt at Van Buren Boulevard near Mockingbird Canyon, according to a sheriff's report.

Eugene Hawkins, 69, of Riverside, was arrested by California Highway Patrol officers on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, sheriff's officials said.

As Hawkins was being driven to the Riverside County jail, police said he became unconscious.

CHP officers diverted the cruiser to Riverside Community Hospital.

Paramedics tried to resuscitate him, but he died at the hospital, according to the report.

An autopsy is planned this week to determine the cause of death.

Backhoe DUI

A man in Cleveland was arrested for a DUI for almost driving through a hardware store with his backhoe. Police suspected him of drunk driving when a neighbor called 911 eractically to warn authorities. Whether he knew it or not, police will pull over any type of motor vehicle including farm equipment. This wasn't his first DUI either. The first time he was pulled over for driving a tractor through his neighbor's yard, destroying several square footage of his lawn and several trees. What a horrible guy to live next to. What has this world come to when a drunk man can't drive through a neighbor's lawn. Geez!

Man Arrested for 5th DUI

Yes, that is correct. His fifth DUI!! According to police, this is how everything went down. Police responded to a burglary at a home in Missoula, MT. The drunk man pounded on the door and eventually took a hard right foot to the doorknob crashing through it. The resident started yelling at the man, like anyone should and was threatened with death and violence.

After a long heated argument, the drunk drove off in his SUV and was quickly pulled over by police. He easily failed sobriety tests and had a blood alcohol level of 0.202, which is just over twice the legal limit. As of now, the drunk is being held on $20,000 bail.

Honestly, it sounds like a funny story to me, but it could have been really scary too. I hope everyone involved is safe.

DUI in the most peculiar way

You don't have to be driving a car to be charged with driving drunk. Deputies in Massachusetts, report stopping a tipsy duffer who was driving a golf cart home.

According to deputies, the 47-year-old man told them that relatives had left him at a golf course where they had spent the day.

So, he got into a golf cart and decided to drive home. However, that same trip was nearly 40 miles.

Thankfully, the man only got about a mile before being pulled over by the law and avoided potential injuries.

Deputies say the man told them he had 10 beers, but didn't think he was drunk.

The attorney who covers this case is sure going to have a laugh when the man swears he was indeed "Stone Cold Sober."
