Jefferson County prosecutor Tom Straus has filed an objection over the sealing of the arrest record of Steve Vukelic. Vukelic is running for the position of County Commissioner, but he has two misdemeanor arrests for drunk driving in Ohio and a felony charge that allegedly involved the bribing of public officials. According to Ohio law, he cannot hold office unless the record is sealed.
The prosecutor stated that the court does not have the authority to seal the record because of the convictions for driving under the influence in Ohio. That is not allowed under new Ohio law.
Vukelic acknowledges the DUI arrests though he says one was expunged. He also disputes the petition

Lawmakers in the House chamber of the state General Assembly have passed legislation requiring a jail term of at least 48 hours for all motorists convicted of drunk driving in Tennessee. The measure passed 96-1. The Senate chamber unanimously passed similar legislation last month.
Under current Tennessee DUI laws, a motorist under the age of 21 arrested for driving under the influence must spend a minimum of 48 hours in jail. A motorist older than 21 however is only required to spend at least 24 hours in jail.
The new bill would make the minimum jail term the same, regardless of age. The legislation will be referred to the Senate to work out differences between the two bills, and then presented to the governor.
It is important that if you are arrested for drunk driving in Tennessee that you hire a qualified DUI attorney in Tennessee.
