Shia LeBeouf Not Charged with California DUI

Actor Shia LeBeouf was involved in accident and suspected of DUI in Los Angeles.

Citing ‘insufficient evidence’, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office said charges of driving under the influence in LA will not be filed against Shia LeBeouf.

LeBeouf was involved in an early morning accident in West Hollywood on July 27. His truck was flipped and he suffered severe injuries to his hand. Though initially arrested for suspicion of drunken driving in LA, Sheriff’s deputies later determined LeBoeuf was not at fault. Prosecutors are considering charges against the two in the other vehicle, who reportedly ran a red light.

Despite that decision not to file charges, the actor faces a 9-month suspension of his driver’s license because he refused to submit to a breath test. A License Administrative Hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles is pending.

LeBoeuf, 22, starred in ‘Transformers’ and was in production for that movie’s sequel at the time of the accident.

Extra Penalties Considered for Louisiana DWI During Hurricanes

A Louisiana state legislator is considering filing a bill that would increase the penalties for drunk driving during a hurricane evacuation. Representative John Edwards has requested statistics from the state police to see if alcohol related accidents and DWI arrests hindered the evacuation of 1.9 million people before the arrival of Hurricane Gustav.

Edwards said he had heard of five arrests on Interstate 55 for driving while intoxicated in Louisiana in the first hours after evacuations were ordered. While that figure has not been confirmed by state police, Edwards used at meeting of the House Select Committee on Homeland Security to raise the issue of DWI penalties in order to improve the state

Austin Police Could Become Phlebotomists for DWI Blood Draw

Austin Police Department Chief Art Acevedo recently announced a plan to train officers to draw blood from motorists suspected of driving while intoxicated in Texas. A new development in the controversial plan can be found buried in an agreement between the police department and Travis County. An amendment to the agreement stipulates that the county jail must provide space for a phlebotomist, which is a person trained to draw blood.

While the laws of Texas clearly limit who can legally draw blood in any situation, Acevedo wants APD officers to be trained to do just that in cases of suspected Texas DWI. Austin Texas DWI defense attorneys and civil rights organizations say the blood draw plan is a violation of a citizen

State Troopers Fired for Ohio DUI Cheating Scandal

Twelve Ohio State Troopers have been fired for cheating on an annual test to certify them in proper administration of breath test equipment. The equipment is used to check the blood alcohol content of motorists suspected of driving under the influence in Ohio, and troopers must be certified before they can administer the tests.

The cheating started last year and was noticed by an inspector with the Ohio Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Testing. Of the twelve fired troopers, eleven were with the Canton post. The other was from Wooster. The Canton post covers two of the largest areas in Ohio and it normally has a staff of 32. The loss of eleven troopers leaves the post understaffed by one-third. State officials have said they will transfer troops eventually but in the mean time posts in Medina and Stark Counties will help with accident investigations. There will also be a cut-back in sobriety checkpoints and DUI patrols.

Failure to properly administer a breath test could result in a false reading, and cause a motorist to be falsely accused of driving drunk in Ohio. Canton city prosecutors have said that up to 70 Ohio DUI cases are subject to review because of the trooper
