DUI passenger struck, killed after car towed
The Mohave Daily News has an article about the death of Dustin Shamblin, 21, who was struck and killed on Highway 95 as he walked home following the DUi arrest of a friend.
In the early morning hours of Oct. 29, Dustin William Shamblin, 21, was walking northbound in the right lane of Highway 95 between Hulet and Jerome avenues when he was struck and killed, an Arizona Department of Public Safety report stated.
Shamblin and Regina Guarisco, 20, of Fort Mojave attended a Halloween party and were on their way home when Guarisco was stopped and arrested by sheriff deputies for misdemeanor driving under the influence, driving under the influence with a blood alcohol level more than 0.08 percent and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Guarisco was taken to county jail and the car towed leaving Shamblin, who was also intoxicated, alone on the roadway.
Police note that their policy prevents them from driving passengers home, though they apparently offered to call for a ride.
