The man has been drinking heavily prior to stepping into his car and has been seen by several witnesses at the local pub, bringing liquor he purchased into his vehicle before heading home. The case is still pending ongoing investigation, related to the pub who sold the liquor to the driver.

Once the man was heading home in his vehicle, completely intoxicated he hit a propane truck who then hit another vehicle which had two more people who are currently in the hospital and recieveing intensive care. When suspect was finally arrested, after trying to escape on foot he was upset and mad about the police bringing him into the custody, he also had a handgun on him and was prepared to fire at the police officers and anything else in his path, although his plan was foiled by quick reaction from the local police department who got tips from several witnesses on the street about the drunken man and handgun he was carrying.

The large pool of police officers on the scene involved some 35 or so officers from various agencies. Some of these agencies were Petaluma, Cotati, Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, Healdsburg, Cloverdale and Sonoma State University, Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department and California Highway Patrol.

New State Wide DUI marketing campaign unignored

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

This ad campaign is anything but soft-hitting. Certainly not a pretty ad campaign for DUI during the  holiday season, however it has its state wide purpose. The ad which is coming from the Lou Beres And Associates in the Chicago and the client from Illinois talks about how the DUI affects human life. The main theme or idea of the ad is that it takes only one DUI incident to scar you permanently for life. The message is being communicated on the ad via people who have “Loser” word on their skin.

This new ad campaign which is boldly showing the “loser” aspect of drunken driving or DUI comes right at a time when state of Illinois is about to enact a new much more stricter DUI law. This law is basically saying that it is mandatory for anyone who has a DUI on their record, that they must install a device or breath alcohol ignition interlock box, a small DUI device basically, on their vehicle if they intend to drive anywhere. This small device acts as a prevention measure. The car is unable to start if the driver’s blood alcohol level exceeds a certain level. This device should definately raise more awareness and help with the DUI incidents in the state of Illinois overall.

The Mascot arrested in DUI case

Monday, December 1st, 2008

A senior who actually plays the mascot was finally arrested after reckless DUI incident that occured on tuesday night and his status in school is currently under serious review and question.

James S. who was recently pulled over from a specific campus was caught by the office while on regular patrol. The officer who caught him said the vehicle that was being driven was loaded with people piled both onto the trunk and engine area blocking the view of the main driver. After the officer has determined there was heavy drinking involved, the officer finally administered the dui tests and took the person into a hospital where they conducted further investigation and testing on the blood alcohol levels.

James S. was a school mascot for a while, and no one expected this kind of behaviour from him. We found out that student who is a mascot recieves a fairly substantial scholarship, but no word on what the exact amount is. However all this could change since of the incident involving DUI and driving under influence of alcohol. The university sanctions can be fairly extensive in this case and may range from requiring students to either take the mandatory classes in order to get better or they may recieve full expulsion.
