Two Northern California men were charged with DUI / DWI in connection with a head-on crash that killed four college students in the Napa Valley.

The collision reportedly occurred when the driver of the students’ car skidded into the opposing lane and struck the vehicle of one of the accused drunk drivers. A second driver rear-ended the truck of the first accused DUI / DWI driver and was also charged.

Unfortunately, California DUI arrests sometimes occur after a collision that wasn’t the accused drunk driver’s fault.  If you’re facing a driving under the influence charge, you need a California DUI / DWI attorney who thoroughly understands the science and law of drunk driving defense.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive lineman Jason Shirley was sentenced to 30 days in a work program after he was convicted of DUI / DWI and hit and run in Fresno.

Shirley, whom police said had a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .12, was retried after his first trial ended with a hung jury.

Although it may not seem that way, a hung jury is often a victory for the defense in a California DUI / DWI case. In many cases, the prosecutor will decline to retry the case after having difficulty convincing 12 jurors of the driver’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

A Northern California sheriff’s deputy was charged with DUI / DWI after the pickup he was driving rolled over on Highway 101 in Mendocino County.

Mendocino County sheriff’s deputy Tim Goss, a four-year veteran of the department, was placed on paid administrative leave.  Sheriff Tom Allman refused to comment on the arrest, calling it a personnel matter.

Unfortunately, police often have plenty to say about DUI arrests when they don’t involve members of their own departments.

A Stockton woman was arrested for California DUI / DWI after she drove over a center median in an effort to avoid a sobriety checkpoint.

Kelley Holmes, 21, is charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless evasion of a peace officer, speeding and failure to provide proof of insurance.

It isn’t illegal to avoid driving up to a sobriety checkpoint in California, but it is against the law to drive over a median.  By doing so, Holmes exposed herself to more charges than she would have had she merely encountered the sobriety checkpoint.
