| DUI For 'Three's Company' Actress Joyce DeWitt |
| Posted By Admin |
 |
Last July, "Three's Company" actress DeWitt pleaded no contest in her drunk-driving debacle. She was slapped with two misdemeanors: driving while having a 0.08% or higher blood alcohol level and driving under the influence.
She was arrested after she drove past a roadblock at yearly firework show. There she parked her car and made her way to a uniformed officer on his motorcycle. Her blood alcohol was approximately twice the legal limit at .15%.
DeWitt's will be expected to pay a $510 fine, serve three years of probation, and enroll in an alcohol-treatment program for nine months.
If you are stopped for a DUI
in California, expect the Police officer to take a blood test or breath test to measure your
BAC (blood alcohol content). If you are found with a BAC of 0.08% or higher you are determined to be “under the influence” and you will be arrested for DUI. DUIs happen all the time and being arrested and booked for DUI can be very upsetting and embarrassing. You will be facing several
DUI penalties along with having your driving privileges suspended.

| Lindsay Lohan's DUI Preventing, Alcohol-Detecting, Ankle Bracelet |
| Posted By Admin |
|
Lindsey Lohan currently wears the SCRAMx alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet , a $1,500 device, made by AMS. Lindsey's judge was anything but pleased when she learned that Lindsey attended the Cannes Film Festival in France, skipping a court hearing she had last week.
Other celebrities have been forced to wear the device: rapper Eve, and retired basketball player Jayson Williams.
This ankle bracelet can restrict people to their homes. It acts very much like a Breathalyzer does, but rather than using one's breath to check alcohol levels, it traces the alcohol levels every half hour through the perspiration on the skin. If it detects alcohol, then that triggers a chemical reaction in the device, and that information is sent to the company, which then alerts the necessary people.
Obviously with gadgets like these, come the smart-alecs who think that they can outsmart it. There have been stories of those who have attempted to tamper with the ankle bracelet, but the gadget has sensors, which know if tampering has occurred.
The newest version of the gadget is much smaller and lighter than the first models.
Our credentials in the Los Angeles DUI arena are unmatched. We have combined experience of 75 years successfully representing our clients. Take the first step right now and call the Ronald Hedding Law Firm at (818) 986-2092 and begin the process of getting back to a normal life and getting your DUI matter behind you. |

| DUI Stop -- Officer Shot |
| Posted By Admin |
|
A Santa Monica police officer stopped a vehicle for a DUI check. When the officer administered the sobriety test, the passenger shot the officer in the abdomen, just missing his bullet-proof vest.
The officer shot back at the gunman, but was unable to capture him at first. At approximately 5:10 a.m., the police found the suspect and engaged in another shoot-out. The gunman was hit and hospitalized.
The officer who was shot, was hospitalized and is said to be in good condition. The suspect's condition, however, is uncertain.
Driving under the influence is charged when law enforcement suspects that you are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. During this questioning you may be asked to perform field sobriety tests, along with urine or blood/breath tests to determine your BAC (blood alcohol content). Anytime your BAC is 0.08% or higher you are considered above the legal limit and determined to be intoxicated.
Do not take a chance on your freedom! Contact the Hedding Law Firm today to find out more legal information regarding DUI law and your rights in California!

| TV Star Adrian Pasdar Of 'Heroes' Booked For DUI |
| Posted By Admin |

One doesn't have to look to a
Los Angeles DUI attorney to know that Drunk driving is a serious criminal offense. It is commonly referred to as "DUI" (Driving Under the Influence of Alchohol or Drugs) or "DWI" (Driving While Intoxicated). It is illegal for a driver's "BAC" (blood alcohol content) to be 0.08% or higher in the state of California. If you are pulled over, you will be expected to complete either one or a number of sobriety tests: walk and turn, breath, urine, and blood tests. Evading these tests can hasten your arrest and put you behind bars. In addition to jail time, this misdemeanor offense can subsequently lead to numerous fines, counseling, points added onto your driving record, probation, and even the suspension of your license!
One recent example of how important a
Los Angeles DUI attorney is, can be seen in the popular 'Heroes' TV star, Adrian Pasdar, arrest for DUI. According to the California Highway Patrol, Pasdar was not only veering unsafely across lanes, but driving his Ford F-150 well over the alloted speed limit at 94 mph on the California Highway. Pasdar failed the field sobriety test when he was pulled over and then booked for DUI. He was later released around 8:30 a.m. on $15,000 bail.
