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.
