Police Officer Arrested for New Mexico DWI in Las Cruces

An Albuquerque police officer was charged with driving while intoxicated in Las Cruces, New Mexico last weekend. U.S. Border Patrol agents found a Toyota truck parked on the sidewalk around 3:30 am and went to check on the driver.

After Las Cruces police officers arrived on the scene, the driver, David Hill, Jr., reportedly exited the truck very slowly. A breath test revealed his blood alcohol content was double that of the legal limit for intoxication in New Mexico. Hill was booked for drunk driving in New Mexico at the Dona Ana County Detention Center. He was also charged with negligent use of a firearm. Hill had a loaded Glock handgun on him at the time of the arrest, and possession of a firearm while intoxicated is illegal in the state.

Hill is a three year veteran with the Albuquerque Police Department. He was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.

Tennessee Law Says Wheelchairs Are Not Vehicles

It is surprisingly not uncommon to read of those charged with DUI while operating wheelchairs. The rationale is that the wheelchairs are motorized vehicles.

Lawmakers in Tennessee have passed House Bill 3260 that defines any person using a motorized or non-motorized wheelchair as a pedestrian. Inversely that means the wheelchair is not a vehicle and the operator is not subject to driving under the influence in Tennessee.

Teen Charged with California DUI After Morning Collision

Around 9:00 am a Hillsborough police corporal on patrol noticed a black BMW with two teenagers parked the wrong way on the street, and he went to investigate. In response, the young driver started the BMW and sped off. The policeman pursued the vehicle and found the BMW had broadsided a Cadillac at a nearby intersection.

The Cadillac was blocking both lanes due to the accident, and the policeman watched as the BMW deliberately rammed it two times in order to clear the way. While the corporal attended to the two unhurt middle-aged women in the Cadillac, another officer stopped the fleeing BMW a short distance away.
