Football Player arrested for DUI in Colorado

Friday, February 10th, 2012

Our DUI Lawyers in Orange County have learned that former football player of the University of Georgia Bulldogs, Knowshon Moreno, was recently arrested for a DUI in Colorado.

Moreno, who now plays for the Denver Broncos (or as they are now known, the Tim Tebows), was pulled over in a Bentley convertible, apparently for going 70 in a 45 zone.

The officer on the Knowshon Moreno DUI stop smelled alcohol and carried out a roadside sobriety test and a breath test.

As our Los Angeles DUI lawyers have learned, LA County Sheriff’s official Natalie Salazar is facing DUI charges after being found passed out in her car on the 210 freeway.

CHP says they responded to several calls and found Salazar passed out with her head on the steering wheel, according to KTLA.

Her blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit – a whopping 0.20.

This will be Salazar’s second time being cited for driving under the influence.  She was originally popped back in 2009.

Salazar is in charge of the Community/Law Enforcement Partnership Program.

Our DUI Lawyers Orange County have learned that the “Avoid the 12” Orange County DUI Campaign is going to be very active in Orange County, CA, this Superbowl Weekend.
Law Enforcement joins with the national “Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk” message from the National Football League (NFL), the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management (TEAM) Coalition.  The “Avoid the 12” DUI Task Force will be deploying special roving DUI patrols on Sunday, February 5th in several communities throughout the area looking to stop and arrest drivers who are impaired by alcohol or drugs. These DUI patrols, along with regularly scheduled patrol officers, are looking for signs of an intoxicated driver behind the wheel.

“We want everyone to make the right decision on Super Bowl Sunday,” said Chris Murphy, Director of the California Office of Traffic Safety. “Having a designated sober driver should be an obvious call in everyone’s playbook. Making sure designated sober drivers know how much we appreciate their responsible decision is what will make this year’s celebration extra special – and extra safe.”

If you are hosting a Super Bowl Party:
• Make sure all of your guests designate their sober drivers before kickoff or help arrange ridesharing with other sober drivers
• Serve plenty of food
• Offer a variety of non-alcoholic choices like non-alcohol beers, soft drinks, juice, and water
• Serve one drink at a time and serve measured drinks
• Determine ahead of time when you’ll stop serving alcohol, such as one hour before the end of the party or at the end of the third quarter of the game (just like NFL stadiums) and begin serving coffee and dessert

If you are attending a Super Bowl party or watching at a sports bar or restaurant:
• Designate a sober driver before the party begins.
• Avoid drinking too much alcohol too fast. Pace yourself—eat enough food, take breaks and alternate with non-alcoholic drinks.
• Take appropriate steps to prevent anyone from driving while impaired. Remember, “Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk.”
• Always buckle up – it’s your best defense on the road

Enjoy the game. And always, if you have questions for our Orange County DUI Lawyers, contact me at (877) 568-2977.

have learned that the city of Costa Mesa has received a state grant for DUI enforcement.  The grant activities will specifically target DUI offenders, Motorcycle Safety, drivers with suspended or revoked licenses, red light running, speeding, and seatbelt violations. This will be done through the use of DUI/driver’s license checkpoints, special enforcement operations, and court stings where DUI offenders with suspended or revoked licenses get behind the wheel after leaving court.

“Thanks to the dedicated hard work of agencies like the Costa Mesa Police Department, California has the fewest traffic fatalities since 1944,” said OTS Director Christopher J. Murphy. “While this is good news, we know that only by keeping the pressure on through enforcement and public awareness can we hope to sustain these declines and save lives.”

DUI/Drivers License Checkpoints are a key component of the grant. These highly visible, widely publicized events are meant to deter impaired driving, not to increase arrests, and law enforcement admits they are not effective at getting drunk drivers arrested.  If you have any questions for a DUI Specialist Orange County, call me anytime, at (877) 568-2977.
