Rhode Island DUI Offender Fails to Notice the Police

Posted on by
Comments

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.

Washington DUI Laws Update: Provision Against Driving While Huffing

Posted on by
Comments

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.

Father and Son Arrested for DUI

Like father like son…

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!

Girl Gets Illinois DUI and Misses a Showing of Twilight: Breaking Dawn – TRAGEDY!!!!

As if this previous story wasn’t ridiculous enough, I couldn’t help but stumble upon this gem:

This past Saturday morning, 18-year old Olivia Ornelas was arrested for an Illinois DUI. As police questioned her, Ornelas revealed that she got intoxicated because she was so angry at her boyfriend for not taking her to see Twilight: Breaking Dawn this weekend.

Ornelas was charged with an IL DUI as well as underage drinking. Unfortunately, she couldn’t be charged with poor taste in movies.

Luckily there is an experienced Illinois DUI attorney who can fight her charges. However, we cannot guarantee he or she can get Ornelas a movie ticket.

Woman Seemingly Proud of Her Arizona DUI

Comments

Two thumbs up! Is that how she rates the experience of a DUI in Arizona? Yikes. Someone needs to get her priorities in order.

24-year old Michelle Watson was arrested in Prescott, Arizona on Thursday for a DUI. During the arrest, Watson was very aggressive and even kicked an officer in the crotch as the cops proceeded to handcuff her.  At least she refused a field sobriety test…?

A lot of us here in the office are curious if Watson is smart enough to hire an experienced AZ DUI attorney. If not, we’re wondering if jail will get a thumbs up from Watson, as well.

Priest Gets DUI: Forgive Me Father, For YOU Have Sinned

One minute he’s giving you lessons on how to be a better person and the next he’s getting a DUI.

Father Peter Jones, an Australian priest, was arrested this weekend for drinking and driving.

It’s quite shocking to see a man of cloth get a DUI. However, it’s even more shocking to find out that his BAC at the time of arrest was .341. Wow.

In the United States, if you’re BAC is way above the legal limit, your DUI punishments are likely to become harsher. In some cases, you may even be charged with a felony.  This is why it is necessary to have a DUI attorney on your side.

Everybody’s physiology is different and we all absorb alcohol at a different rate. No matter what, it is important to hire an experienced DUI attorney if you have been arrested for a DUI of any sort.

If you have been arrested for a DUI, talk to an experienced DUI lawyer today.

FL DUI Offender Confuses License with Taco

Comments

Don’t you hate yourself when someone asks to see your ID and you accidentally pull out a taco?

After all, tacos and driver’s licenses look so much alike!

Anyway, Matthew Falkner of Florida fell asleep at the wheel in the parking lot of a Taco Bell (a common place to get a DUI arrest, FYI.) Taco Bell employees called the police.

When the police arrived, Falkner made the ever-so-common-mistake of showing the police his recently purchased taco instead of his driver’s license.

Apparently, the officer wasn’t in the mood for a taco at the time.

As a result, he was arrested for a DUI in Florida and police took him to jail.

Look, you may not have made the mistake of confusing a plastic card with a taco, but you did make a mistake of getting behind the wheel while intoxicated. Florida DUI laws are tough and it is important to have an experienced Florida DUI attorney on your side, fighting for your rights.

DUI in Illinois Reminiscent of Every Down-on-His-Luck Dude from Rom-Com Movies

Comments

Calling Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson! We may have a new romantic comedy in the works. Could it be called How to Lose Your License in Ten Days? Oh, and maybe the person who saves the day is a top-notch Chicago DUI attorney?! We can only hope…

Needless to say, a man from Waukegan, Illinois attempted to proclaim his adoration for a female co-worker. After she rejected him, he did what anyone would do: Eat Drink himself into a stupor.

Too bad this was during the work day.

When his boss (ostensibly played by Michael Douglas) saw his employee totally hammered, he fired the guy.

And the bad day only gets worse…

Leaving the office with nothing left but his pride and a BAC that was way over limit, the poor guy got arrested for a DUI after causing his ar.

And…

Cue the opening credits!

Your Chicago DUI may not have been this dramatic, but that still doesn’t mean you should plead guilty. If you have been arrested for a DUI in Illinois, fight your charges today!

Guy Doesn’t Want DUI – - Just Tacos.

Comments

Wasn’t there a story last year about a woman who called 9-1-1 because she couldn’t get chicken nuggets at a McDonald’s?

Regardless, a similar story happened in Florida this weekend that’s just as ridiculous.

In the Largo area, a drunken man walked up to a Taco Bell drive-thru window where he was refused service because he wasn’t in a car. The man responded that he was drunk and couldn’t drive, but the Taco Bell employee insisted that he must be in a car in order to use the drive- thru.

So, using drunken logic, the man concluded that Taco Bell wanted him to get a DUI in order to get a taco. Obviously, being refused a taco is a huge violation, so the man decided to call 9-1-1.

And, I bet you can guess what happens next…

Man Gets DUI in Pennsylvania While on Lawn Mower

Comments

A crazy DUI in Pennsylvania took place this weekend, leaving one man with a pretty bad cocktail of hangover and embarrassment.

This past Thursday, Mark Grove was arrested for a PA DUI while driving on a lawn mower. Witnesses saw him driving erratically and called the police.

When police arrived at the scene, they found Grove with a coffee mug filled with alcohol. Grove proceeded to admit he was intoxicated and asked police to take him home.

When police proceeded to arrest him for a PA DUI, Grove assaulted the police officer and head butted the partition in the police car. As a result, Grove also faces assault charges in addition to his Pennsylvania DUI.

You don’t need to be an idiot like Mark Grove to get a DUI in PA.  It can happen to anyone. To learn more about PA DUI laws, please visit this page.

Here are some stories that cannot get away without a few gasps…

DUI Victim Survives Crash and Impaling

Yes, you read that correctly. A fence pole impaled a passenger in San Bernadino County, CA. Although the passenger is on the road to recovery, the driver of the car, his father, has been arrested and is currently locked up at the Central Detention Center in San Bernadino.

Jesus Can Help You Beat Your DUI

At least that is what Teairra Mari believes. The musical 23-year-old up-and-comer was arrested for a DUI last week and was spotted attending church services in Van Nuys this past Sunday.  Whether or not prayer can save you from the consequences of a DUI, Mari did own up to her mistake and issued a statement, apologizing for her actions.

Which is Worse? A DUI or a Flat Tire?

A man in Tinley Park is still trying to figure that one out. Dean R. Mariucci was pulled over by police for driving with flat tires. Upon questioning, police suspected Mariucci had been drinking and arrested him for a DUI. When will people learn that no one can ever make a smart decision after drinking?!

I don’t understand how someone could be in the courtroom for a case like this and not laugh. This is ridiculous.

A guy in Australia was caught drunk driving in a resort town. However, he was driving a motorized beer cooler. He was even driving this beer cooler without a license!

To see a motorized beer cooler in action, check out XTreme Coolers. Why anyone would want a drink after it was practically been between someone’s legs is beyond me…
