New Mexico man receives probation only to be rearrested for same offense – Instead of a jail sentence, Rennie Yazzie, received supervised probation after being charged with New Mexico DWI and evading police arrest. The very night after receiving such favorable terms, the 22-year old led police on another high-speed chase while drunk. In addition to reaching speeds of 100 mph, Yazzie ran a stop light, rammed police cruisers and drove on rims after police punctured three tires with stop sticks. Two of his passengers jumped out of the vehicle in fear. Yazzie now faces his fourth New Mexico drunk driving offense, aggravated fleeing and two counts of battery against a police officer. He likely will also be sent to jail for the two years that were suspended when he received probation earlier in the day.

Bolton was arrested for Tennessee DUI, vandalism over $1000, leaving the scene of an accident and criminal trespassing. Just hours after being released, he was re-arrested on charges of domestic violence for another altercation with his ex-girlfriend.
