The Statesman brings us a new DUI story about a driver with a little too much alcohol in his system:
Massey was charged with aggravated assault, a second-degree felony, and two third-degree felonies: intoxication assault and failure to stop and render aid. A blood-alcohol test showed Massey at .41, the affidavit said; the legal limit is .08.
The woman who was struck suffered broken legs, Massey faces 40 years in prison if convicted.
The Orange Leader has an article noting an interesting trend in recent DUI arrests:
“There has been an increase of DUI versus DWI because of an increase of people being on prescription medication,” said Sgt. L.L. Claybar of the Orange Police Department.
The story includes a number of specific incidents, including a woman on Hydrocodone, Alprazolam, and Carisoprodol, a combination which will clearly impair your ability to operate a moving vehicle. However, Sgt. Claybar notes that prescription drugs haven’t replaced alcohol entirely:
“Some may be more medicinal then drunkenness, but we are still seeing a fair amount of those that are intoxicated by alcohol,” Claybar said.
