Hall said “I had been visiting a friend and was driving home late alone. I did not drink — I would never drink and drive, God forbid that I would ever hurt anybody. I respect the law. I was tired and that was it”

Everyone knows that fraternities like to drink and have a good time, but most people probably think they are irresponsible about it. Well that may be true for some, but Kappa Sigma from CSULB is trying to take action to eliminate drunk driving, and contacted us to get a breathalyzer placed inside their frat house. It still charges $1 each use, with the money going back to our non profit. The house is straight out of a movie, with 10 guys living there, a basketball court and dinasour bone yard in the back, as well as a huge pirate ship balcony. Some of you may recognize the house from an episode of Monster House when they helped them build it. It is good to see college kids taking initiative to fight drunk driving, keep up the good work Kappa Sig, your community appreciates it!
Everyone knows pirates love rum, but did you also know they are responsible boaters and never operate their ships while under the influence? Even Davy Jones himself knows that the only danger in the ocean bigger them him is a captain who has had too much to drink! We want to thank everyone from pirates to everyday people like you and me for being responsible and testing your blood alcohol concentration at the Long Beach Grand Prix this past weekend. We had more then 500 people test themselves, some of them even came back twice! Make sure to start looking for our instruments in a bar or club near you soon!
Mike Sheehan, former police officer now turned into a Fox 5 News Reporter, was arrested Monday night after he refused to take a breathalyzer test after he drove into a NYPD horse. On Tuesday this Fox 5 news reporter will be arraigned and charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated and reckless endangerment.
Prosecutors quoted Sheehan as telling the cops “Whats the matter? I didnt hit nothing.” The lawyer for the Fox new reporter said, “It Is Mr. Sheehan’s position that the horse ran into his car.” The reports say that Sheehan was slurring his words and smelled liked booze. He denies the allegations.

The state Court of Appeals ruled today that a person who is alone, drunk, and asleep behind the wheel of his working car with his keys in the center console is sufficient support to convict him of DWI.
Citizen Daryl Fleck had the policed called on him by a concerned citizen when he was asleep in his car around 11:30 pm. When the police arrived, he was obvisouly intoxicated and registered a BAC (blood alcohol concentration) of .18%, which is double the legal limit!He is facing up to 4 years in prison, since he has had prior convictions
I always heard my friends and others talk about this, but I never thought it was true. It is hard to decide, because he was sitting behind the wheel in the drivers seat. If he had been laying down in the passenger or back seat, I wonder if it would have effected the outcome. The lesson to be learned to make sure to be safe is dont be in a car asleep drunk with the keys and by yourself… unless it is a non working car. (The picture is not of Daryl Fleck, but another man who fell asleep in his car, drunk)
