Miss Arizona Teen Accepts Plea Deal In DUI Case

Miss Arizona Teen USA 2010, Tori Vance, was arrested on past May 5, 2012 for DUI in Los Angeles. Police initially pulled Vance over for making an illegal U-turn and suspected she might be driving under the influence of alcohol. Police then proceeded to issue a series of roadside field sobriety tests, which Vance failed. The Miss Arizona winner apparently had a blood alcohol content(BAC) level over the legal limit of .08%, but it’s not known by how much.

Vance had initially pleaded not guilty, but has reached a plea deal with prosecutors that keeps her out of jail. Vance is a first time offender and in return for pleading “no contest”, prosecutors have dropped the charges for DUI. Instead of jail time, the former Miss Arizona received 3 years probation. Vance is due to compete in the Miss California pageant in 2013 and won her first pageant in Arizona at age 16.

Joe Simpson Ordered To Stay Away From Alcohol

Joe Simpson, who you may better know as the father of famous singers Jessica and Ashley Simpson, has been ordered by a judge to abstain from drinking alcohol. The order comes as a result of his August 4th arrest for DUI earlier this month. Joe Simpson was due in court on August 30th but his attorney Shawn Holley had the case continued into September. The order by the judge to not drink any alcohol may sound harsh to some considering Joe Simpson has never had any prior arrests for DUI.

If he is convicted, he could face up to a year in jail, probation, suspension of his driver’s license in addition to large fines.
