From TMZ

Aaron Carter‘s threatening to go after cops for his DUI refusal arrest because he’s adamant they never saw him behind the wheel … and believes they had no right to arrest him.

Sources close to Aaron tell TMZ … the singer wants to sue over his weekend bust in Cornelia, Georgia where he refused a breathalyzer and testing of his blood and urine to determine if he was intoxicated.

TMZ’s obtained photos of the moment Habersham County deputies searched through Aaron and his girlfriend’s belongings in an AutoZone parking lot. Aaron says he was targeted because of his celebrity.  MORE

MANASSAS, VA. — Prince William County Police report the arrest of Curtis Andrew Amon for DWI on June 10, 2017, a fourth such arrest within ten years.

THE FAA AND ALCOHOL

The following guidelines were issued by the FAA in regard to Pilots. While it may be logical to figure that aircraft mechanics are just as important to aircraft safety, the FAA rules apply to pilots only in regard to alcohol.

Hard Facts and Erratic Effects

Alcohol is a sedative, hypnotic, and an addicting drug that quickly impairs judgment and leads to behavior that can easily contribute to, or cause, accidents. Its toxic effects, which vary considerably from person to person, are influenced by gender, body weight, rate of consumption (time), and total amount consumed. Consider these facts:

• The average healthy person eliminates pure alcohol at a fairly constant rate—about 1/3 to 1/2 ounces of pure alcohol per hour.

• Even after complete elimination of all of the alcohol from the body, there are undesirable effects—hangover—that can last 48 to 72 hours following the last drink. Symptoms commonly associated with a hangover are headache, dizziness, dry mouth, stuffy nose, fatigue, upset stomach, irritability, impaired judgment, and increased sensitivity to bright light. A pilot with these symptoms would certainly not be fit to safely operate an aircraft.

Alcohol and Aviation

The majority of adverse effects produced by alcohol relate to the brain, eyes, and inner ear— three crucial organs to a pilot.

• Brain effects include impaired reaction time, reasoning, judgment, and memory.
• Visual symptoms include eye muscle imbalance, which leads to double vision and difficulty focusing.

• Inner ear effects include dizziness and decreased hearing perception.

Pilots have shown impairment in their ability to perform even routine VFR flight tasks while under the influence of alcohol, regardless of individual flying experience. The number of serious errors dramatically increases as your blood alcohol level goes up. Some studies have shown diminished pilot performance with blood alcohol concentrations as low as 0.025 percent. If other variables (e.g., sleep deprivation, fatigue, medication use, altitude hypoxia, or flying at night or in bad weather) are present, the negative effects are significantly magnified.

Regulations and Recommendations

The use of alcohol and drugs by pilots is regulated by Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations section 91.17: No person may operate or attempt to operate an aircraft within eight hours of having consumed alcohol, while under the influence of alcohol, or with a blood alcohol content of 0.04 percent or greater. A more conservative approach is to wait 24 hours from the last use of alcohol before flying.

This is especially true if intoxication occurred or if you plan to fly IFR. Also, consider the effects of a hangover. Eight hours from “bottle to throttle” does not mean you are in the best physical condition to fly or that your blood alcohol concentration is below the legal limits. Time is the only real solution and, ideally, every pilot should strive for total avoidance of alcohol in planning or accomplishing a flight. Lives are at risk if you drink and fly.

Jose Miguel Meja charged with DUI murder in wreck that killed Rosaria Chavez

Winnetka, Calif. — According to the Los Angeles Police Valley Traffic Division on Thursday, July 13, 2017, at approximately 2:05 a.m., Jose Miguel Mejia, 28, a resident of Northridge, was driving a black 2016 Dodge Challenger Eastbound on Roscoe Boulevard.

Police say that the Challenger collided with a 2001 Subaru Impreza traveling eastbound in the number one lane and a 2013 Ford Escape traveling eastbound in the number two lane just west of Irondale Avenue. The impact caused the Subaru to spin out of control and it came to a stop in the opposing traffic lanes. The Ford Escape was forced into an easterly direction out of control as it collided with the curb, a street sign, a tree, and a power pole.

John Giumarra III charged with DUI and felony hit and run for killing Angela Holder

John Giumarra III charged with killing Angela Holder while DUI and hit and run Jan 16, 2017 felony hit and run

BAKERSFIELD, CALIF. — Kern County District Attorney Lisa S. Green announced the filing of two charges against John George Giumarra Ill. Giumarra, 48, was charged with one felony count of hit and run (Vehicle Code section 20001) arising out of a collision where a death occurred. He was charged with one misdemeanor count of driving while impaired (Vehicle Code section 23152) with a prior misdemeanor conviction for driving while impaired. The criminal case originated from a collision that took place on January 16, 2017, on Golden State Avenue near the intersection with F Street. Angela Holder, 32, was killed in the collision.
The Bakersfield Police Department requested felony DUI charges and the felony hit and run charge. District Attorney Green explained why the felony DUI charge was not filed: “The law is absolutely clear that an individual must commit an independently unlawful act other than driving impaired, and that act must be the cause of death.

Giumarra did not commit any separate act that caused Ms. Holder’s death, therefore there was insufficient evidence to support the filing of a felony driving while impaired. A felony hit and run causing death have no similar independent unlawful act requirement, and therefore the evidence supports the filing of the hit and run.”

If convicted, Giumarra faces a maximum sentence of four years in state prison.

From ABC 10 San Diego

Sarita Shakya a nurse at Scripps Hospital was killed by wrong way driver Alexandria Bayne who was 4 times legal limit BAC

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Emotions overflowed during a preliminary hearing for a deadly crash Tuesday.

Alexandria Bayne turned her face toward the wall, hiding her emotion as her estranged husband testified about her actions as a mother.

She’s charged with murder in the wake of a wrong-way, head-on crash last December that killed Sarita Shakya, a nurse at Scripps Hospital and mother of a four-year-old daughter.

The prosecutor said Bayne’s blood alcohol level was between .31 and .34–about four times the legal limit. 

She has two prior DUIs but her driver’s license was valid at the time of that crash in 4S Ranch.

California Highway Patrol investigator James McBreaty said he interviewed Bayne’s teenaged daughter about her mother’s drinking.

She recalled a moment earlier that day when her younger brothers were arguing and she went looking for mom.

“She told me she found her mother falling asleep, described it as almost passed out on the bed.”   MORE

Motorcyclist James David Watson told police he was using drugs and drinking before he killed his passenger

From News Herald

Candi Michelle Bailey killed when riding on a motorcycle with DUI driver James David Watson in Panama City Beach Fla.

PANAMA CITY — A motorcyclist jailed on charges he was driving intoxicated when he killed his passenger told officers he had been consuming alcohol and narcotics before the crash, according to arrest reports.

James David Watson, 57, appeared in court Tuesday to set a bond on a charge of DUI manslaughter. He was arrested after the 4:15 a.m. crash Monday resulted in the death of his passenger, 39-year-old Candi Michelle Bailey. The crash occurred near the Casa Loma Motel, 13615 Front Beach Road.

Watson was given a $25,000 bond and still is being held at the Bay County Jail, court records stated. Judge Thomas Welch struggled with determining a bond for Watson, saying he was weighing his relationship to the victim against the possibility he could be a danger to the public.

Watson, of Dothan, Alabama, did not comment during the first appearance, where he appeared in a wheelchair with a sling around his arm. Several of his family members attended in support of Watson’s release, and a woman identifying herself as his mother pleaded with Welch for a low bond out of medical concerns.   MORE

On May 26, 2017, Mendoza pleaded no contest to one count of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated with a special allegation of causing injury to more than one person and one count of DUI causing injury with a prior DUI conviction, with three special allegations of causing great bodily injury. Mendoza possesses a prior misdemeanor DUI conviction from 2014 in which his BAC was .23%. Mendoza was on probation for that case when this crash occurred.

Councilman JJ Vance offers to barter DUI arrest with his truck

Anadarko City Councilman Jeffrey “J J” Vance tried to bribe and bargain his way out of a DUI arrest; even offered to forfeit his vehicle

From KFOR

ANADARKO, Okla. – An Anadarko city councilman is caught on tape bargaining with officers to get out of a DUI charge.

Jeffrey Jason or “J.J.” Vance was arrested early Wednesday morning.

It started with a routine traffic stop after an officer saw him swerving in his pickup truck, then run a red light.

“Just prior to him failing to stop at the red light, another vehicle had gone through the light while it was yellow,” said Anadarko Police Chief Tracy Roles. “Mr. Vance was well behind that vehicle.”

Vance admitted to the officer he had been drinking, but before the officer could walk back to his vehicle, body camera footage shows Vance mentioned one more thing.

“City council,” said Vance.

“What?” said the officer.

“City council.”

“What about city council?” asked the officer.

“Nothing,” said Vance. “I’m on city council.”

“Ok,” said the officer. “Ok, sit tight.”

The police ignored the comment and they conducted a field sobriety test on Vance. According to the report, officers could smell alcohol on his breath and he was unsteady on his feet.

After failing the field test, they arrested him and brought him back to the station.

Vance blew a .18 on a breathalyzer test, which is above the limit to earn a DUI charge.

But while waiting in the station, he elaborated on what he started on in his truck.

“All I can tell you all is you all just be as nice as you can to me,” Vance can be heard saying on the body camera footage, “because I am on the city council.”

He didn’t stop there, offering to pay a $700 or $800 fine, even bargaining his vehicle.

“Or, or better than that, you can even repo my car so you can make more,” Vance said.

He even made promises based on his position as a councilman.

“If you all can just fine me and let me go home, I will f****** raise all kinds of money for your a**,” Vance said. “I’ve been raising all kinds of money from the police department, forthe police department. For the dogs. I f****** raised like $1,000 for the f****** dogs. I’m not bulls********, I did do that.”

The officers deflected his pleas, saying “we don’t make deals” and “that’s not how it works,” or just ignored him.

“If you’re a city council member, or another elected official, or a member of some sort of other city or governmental agency, that does not make you above the law,” said Roles.

Anadarko Mayor Kyle Eastwood declined to go on camera for the story, but he said in a statement over the phone, “If the allegations are accurate, I would find that to be inappropriate for an elected official. But Mr. Vance is accountable to his constituents, and matters like this should be resolved at the ballot box.”

Mayor Eastwood sent the following longer statement later:

“As I said over the phone, if the allegations against Mr. Vance are true, the judicial process should be allowed to play out and the appropriate punishment determined by a jury. The matter is under investigation by local law enforcement in conjunction with the District Attorney’s Office. I have great confidence in our law enforcement officials and district attorney staff to conduct a fair investigation into the matter.

As to the political implications for Mr. Vance as a public official, it is behavior I do not condone and is unbecoming an elected official in the City of Anadarko. However, I am without authority to address his position on the City Council. That authority rests with the voters at the ballot box.

With regard to the body cam video you mentioned, I have not seen that video and cannot comment directly on what it shows. However, if it shows Mr. Vance making inappropriate comments or requests to law enforcement, I would expect that evidence to be turned over to the district attorney for review and the appropriate prosecution.”
