shauna millerShauna Miller, a Las Vegas Stripper, was charged with felony DUI after being involved in a deadly crash on March 23, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. According to the police report, the incident took place at the intersection of Spring Mountain and Wynn Rd. around 7 in the morning. Miller was driving southbound on Spring Mountain when she struck the drivers side of a Ford Escort turning right at the Wynn intersection. The driver of the Escort, James Joseph White, was killed as a result of the collision while his 2 year-old son sitting in a car seat sustained minor injuries. According to officers at the scene, the Vegas stripper displayed several signs of intoxication such as constricted pupils, glassy eyes and a slight odor of alcohol.

When police asked Miller if she had been drinking before the accident, she told them that she had consumed 2 beers while working as a dancer at the Spearmint Rhino. The Vegas stripper told police that she drank her last beer around 3 or 4 am and that she had also taken a Xanax Pill the night before, which she did not have a prescription for. Police proceeded to give Miller a series of field sobriety tests, which she failed, resulting in her arrest for DUI. Police also noted that investigators believe White’s Escort was headed southbound as opposed to turning right as Miller recalls it. Investigators also saw no signs of pre-impact braking from the Miller’s Hummer, even though the Vegas stripper claimed that she tried to brake and avoid a collision. According to the police report, investigators are still trying to determine who ran the red light during the accident.

WWE Star Jimmy Uso Charged With DUI

WWE Star Jimmy Uso Charged With DUI

jimmy usoJimmy Uso, a wrestler with WWE, was arrested and charged with DUI on March 13, 2013 in Hillsborough County, Florida. Uso, whose real name is Jonathan Solofa Fatu, was arrested around 12:30 pm and released a few hours later on a $500 cash bond. Currently, it is unclear what Uso’s blood alcohol content (BAC) level was at the time of the incident or if he performed any field sobriety tests before his arrest. This is the second time that Jimmy Uso has been arrested for DUI, with the first being in September of 2011. Uso was arrested for that first DUI after an officer saw Uso driving down the wrong side of a street at 3 in the morning.

The WWE has been known to step in and penalize some of their wrestlers for incidents occurring outside of the ring, however, they have only usually done so when a wrestler has been involved in DUI pertaining to possession of drugs since the company mandates drug testing. Uso could be safe from any action on behalf of the WWE at the moment since “WrestleMania” is just on the horizon. Another wrestler, Jack Swagger, was charged with DUI and drug possession on February 19, 2013. After Swagger’s arrest, the WWE commented saying, “Mr. Swagger is responsible for his own personal actions“.

CSI Actor Carmine Giovinazzo Pleads Guilty To DUI

CSI Actor Carmine Giovinazzo Pleads Guilty To DUI

carmine giovinazzoCarmine Giovinazzo, one of the stars in television’s CSI:NY, has pled guilty to DUI after his arrest earlier this year in Scottsdale, Arizona. Apparently, the CSI actor has reached a deal with prosecutors and will enter a guilty plea in exchange for a lesser sentence. By pleading guilty, Giovinazzo can avoid spending any time in jail if he completes an alcohol training program by May 3. If Giovinazzo should fail to meet that requirement though, he could risk spending 10 days in jail. It is likely that Giovinazzo was granted a lesser sentence by prosecutors because he is a first time offender and his DUI did not involve property damage or cause injury to another driver.

It may have also helped that the actor was extremely kind and cooperative during the entire ordeal, according to officers. Carmine Giovinazzo was pulled over on January 21, 2013 around 2:40 am after police spotted him swerving all over the road in his Jeep Wrangler. Giovinazzo initially denied drinking and said that his erratic driving could be attributed to him being lost and resorting to a GPS device. However, he later admitted to drinking when officers noticed several symptoms of alcohol intoxication such as bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and an odor of alcohol on his breath. According to the arresting officer, Giovinazzo had a blood alcohol content (BAC) level of .149% and “thanked me many times for not treating him like a criminal and showing him respect“.
