Well, this happened during a Florida DUI arrest…
Kevin Brann of Marin County, FL was arrested this past Friday for rear-ending a car and driving under the influence.
However, what makes this Florida DUI bizarre is that police noticed Brann was actually utilizing a sex toy during the time of his arrest.
Hopefully Brann will be able to get off using an experienced FL DUI attorney. Zing!

We all know that .08 is the legal limit in most states for alcohol intoxication, but should there be a legal limit to pot smoke?
This is the issue currently being argued in the Colorado legislature as senators are debating whether or not there should be a legal limit as to how much THC is in your system.
THC stands for tetrahydrocannabinol and is the chemical in cannabis that induces a high.
A similar bill was up for debate last year and received a lot of opposition from both sides of the case. The legalization of marijuana supporters believe there is no correlation between THC levels and being impaired while others believed that the state needs to set some measure in place to define marijuana impairment.
The current bill suggests that a pot smoker should be legally impaired if 5 or more nanograms of THC is found in their system.
Whether or not Colorado enacts this bill has no affect on your Colorado DUI charge. If you have been pulled over in Colorado, you are at risk of facing very heavy consequences such as license suspension, heavy fines and possibly even jail time. Don’t suffer from a Colorado DUI conviction. Fight your charges. Find an experienced Colorado DUI attorney today.
If you have been arrested for a DUI, it is impossible not to relive the experience in your head. If you got a DUI after a night at a bar or a club, it is impossible not to think, “The valet even gave me my keys! Was I really that drunk?”
This was the subject of a post on Gawker yesterday in regards to an ordinance being proposed by Boston City Councilor Rob Consalvo that would allow valet companies to withhold keys if a driver seems inebriated.
The proposed legislation could prevent a lot of DUIs from happening, but it could also make a lot of valet companies liable if an accident were to happen. Should a valet company really be responsible for someone else’s mistake? What do you think?

Frank Coonelly, the President of the Pittsburgh Pirates, was officially charged this week for his December 2011 DUI arrest. He has four misdemeanor charges, two of which include reckless driving and going the wrong way down a one way street.
This comes just days after Pittsburgh Steeler Hines Ward got his DUI charge reduced to reckless driving.
Coonelly will likely have to pay fines up to $500 and have his license suspended. In the state of Pennsylvania, a first time offender can opt to participate in the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program which offers substance abuse treatment and education instead of a formal criminal prosecution.
Coonelly stated that he plans to work with organizations that focus on DUI prevention.
If you have been arrested for a DUI in Pennsylvania and would like to see if the ARD program is an option for you, you should meet with an experienced DUI attorney to discuss your options. Find a Pennsylvania DUI attorney today!
Super Bowl MVP Hines Ward successfully managed to get his Atlanta DUI charges dropped by pleading no contest to reckless driving. This means Ward was able to avoid going to jail.
The Pittsburgh Steeler will have to be on probation, participate in community service, pay fines, and attend alcohol education classes.
However, Ward will not have a DUI conviction on his record. This means he is paying much less in fines and will not run into as many obstacles as he would if he were guilty of an Atlanta DUI.
Ward’s plea agreement proves just how necessary it is to hire an experienced Atlanta DUI attorney. With the possibility of getting your DUI charges reduced or even dropped, hiring a skilled DUI lawyer is essential if you want to get your life back on track.

It seems very easy to notice flashing lights in your rear view mirror. However, this past weekend, a Rhode Island woman failed to notice the police attempting to pull her over and she actually led the police to her home!
When she got to the station, she refused a breathalyzer test and wrote “under duress” on her citation form where it asked her to sign her name.
Yikes. Someone needs a lawyer. Fast. This is especially true because in the state of the Rhode Island the prosecutor can use a breath test refusal as evidence of one’s guilt.
Driving while huffing was apparently legal in the state of Washington up until recently. This week, the Washington state House of Representatives approved Bill 2443 that has a few updates to the state’s current DUI laws.
Previously, in the state of Washington “under the influence” meant being under the influence of a product that was meant for human consumption (i.e. alcohol, drugs.) However, products not intended for human consumption (paint thinner, horse tranquilizers?) did not legally qualify. As a result, there have been cases in the state of Washington where people who have driven after huffing managed to get their DUI charges reduced or dropped.
Pretty crazy. Luckily, this loophole has now officially come to a close.

Virginia may become another state that will require first time DUI offenders to install an ignition interlock device in their vehicles. Senate Bill 378 is currently being sponsored by Democratic Senator Don McEachin. It has the support of the Virginia chapter of MADD, as well as AAA- Mid-Atlantic.
Senate Bill 378 also hopes to add a provision that prohibits passenger vehicles that transport 15 or more people to be operated by Virginia DUI offenders.
An ignition interlock is a device that is installed in a driver’s car that prevents the bar from starting if it detects alcohol in a person’s system. An ignition interlock user has to blow or hum into device in order to start their vehicle. For more information on ignition interlock devices, please visit Ignitioninterlock.com.

Grammy-Award winning country singer, Randy Travis, was arrested for public intoxication in Texas this morning.
Police found Travis asleep in his truck in front of the First Baptist Church in Sanger, TX.
Usually for us common folk, being found drunk in your vehicle can give police reason to suspect you have been drinking and driving. However, Travis luckily managed to escape this accusation and received a lesser misdemeanor charge for public intoxication. Travis will likely have to pay a fine of $500.
You may not be as lucky as Randy Travis this past weekend if you have been drinking and driving in Texas. Texas DWI laws are extremely strict. You could end up paying expensive fines, losing your license, and spending time in jail – even if it’s your first DWI. Don’t take any chances.

It sucks when you get arrested for a DUI, but maybe if you have the same DUI charges as your dad, it’s easier. Who knows?
The point is that this weekend Pennsylvania native David Peterson, Sr. drove drunk to pick up his son, David Peterson, Jr. from the drunk tank. Junior was arrested for a DUI earlier in the evening.
Given that it is a smart idea to drive to the police station while intoxicated, Senior was arrested for a DUI on the spot.
Even if you have common sense, unlike the Peterson clan, it doesn’t mean hiring a PA DUI attorney is out of the question. If you have been arrested for a DUI in Pennsylvania, contact an experienced DUI attorney today!
