He already had a DUI...

You can't impeach me! The Christian Right is blindly following me. The Republicans do whatever I say. I'm catering to the Latino's, who are the fastest-growing voting demographic.\n\nYou'll never impeach me!

He was already stuffed.  Hahahaha!

My opinion is that they should only count the record upto the time that it is proven that he started taking drugs. I also think that he should be barred immediately from playing another game until he is clean. Think about it...if YOU were found by your employer to have illegal drugs in your body, what would your employer do??? You would be either fired or forced to do rehab.

More than likely he'll spend the night in jail and get out the next day.  Then he'll have a court hearing regarding the charges.  IF this is his first offense he MAY be able to plea it down to disorderly conduct, IF the victim agrees.  If this is a habit he'll do time and pay lots of court fees.

You seem to miss the point.\nHe had already broken the law, otherwise he wouldn't be on parole.\nPart of the conditions for his being released was agreeing to follow the laws.\nHe decided to use an illegal substance.\nIf he will break that law, how many others will he break?\nI have no sympathy for him.\nGood Riddance!

It could very well be that the officer knew the guy. Contact your neighbors and any other witnesses to the man's demeanor (possible intoxication). Then contact the police station and see if you couls speak to this officers superior. Dont make a big thing about the cop not being concerned with your safety. Mention it, but its not what may get him in trouble. It will be the fact that he apprently left out some crucial details in a police report.

that would be? 10 years ago is not counted with this new offense unless you were extreme DUI or injured someone. That is a pretty high reading. You go to jail in most states at .08. thank the cop for giving you a break and citing and releasing you. the other drunks may have puked on you.

It was apparently found to be an accident.\n\nHe's most likely going to punish himself daily more than any jail could.  He probably knew and was buddies with the deceased....

HI MJ- Unfortunately, the law states that he can be charged, regardless of his state at the time. The only defense would be temporary insanity, but that has not worked in the past for people who were unaware of their actions due to too much alcohol or illegal drugs, so it would not likely be usable in this case either.  What may happen is that he could plead to a lesser charge due to impaired judgment brought on by a combination of a small amount of alcohol in conjunction with a legal benzodiazepene (I assume here that he had this as a prescription, and was not taking it illegally)- However, even that is iffy, because all people given BZDs are strongly warned about taking it with alcohol, and on the bottle itself there are strong warnings.  If he were using the drug illegally, then that pretty much shoots down all defenses.  But, in the end, just because he did not remember, or even know what he was doing, does not mean he will not be held legally accountable-he definitely will...how strongly will depend on his past record, the reason he was using the BZD, and the severity of the crime.  Get a good lawyer and try to plead a lesser charge based on reduced judgment due to ignorance of the drug interaction effect.  I just hope the BZD was a prescription for him.  Good luck, MJ

This means he has a serious drug problem and he's finally going to have to pay the price as an adult. Minors get fooled into thinking they can get away with things. What he should have done is gotten help for the drug issue before he became an adult.

Your local police department love helping out in cases like this. They can scare him in to stopping. they will do a fake arrest and show him how he will be treated as a law breaker. give them a try.

He will have a record after he will get convicted in court. He will get fired from his job.

Having lost several close friends to drunken drivers, including my best friend, I know for fact this website is correct.  Not everyone in an alcohol-related accident dies.  There are those that are forced to live with the realities of someone else's asinine actions.  I have written literally hundreds of news stories pertaining to alcohol-related accidents and other tragedies, and they all read the same:  someone is hurt or killed.  A family is forced to suffer with the consequences of another's stupidity.  I'm of the opinion that the person driving that was indicated on the link with your question wasn't punished anywhere near enough.  I believe he should have been sentenced to at least 15 to 20 years in prison.  That way, he might actually have enough time to think about what he had done.

Probably had a few too many drinks and someone bet him he wouldnt do it!

The first answer is really messed up. I'm a Bengals fan and I wouldn't even say that. Anyway, something will happen to him but only because the press has found out and now a lot of the public knows that he was driving without a license. His punishment however will probably be less than what a normal citizens punishment would be. Probably some kind of really easy community service, like showing up somewhere and saying hello for ten minutes.
