This blog has discussed a variety of issues that can arise during a traffic stop. Routine traffic stops can often be expanded to investigations into other matters. Drunk driving defense lawyers all across the country are aware that alleged minor traffic violations can all too often result in a DWI arrest of a motorist. Most of the stories discussed on this blog involve incidents reported in North Carolina. But from time to time, an incident from other areas of the country makes news and catches the eye of people across the country.

Generally, each state controls its own laws in criminal laws, but all states presume impairment in DWI cases based upon a 0.08 percent alcohol concentration. How cases are handled can differ widely under the differing state laws. That is one reason it is always important for out-of-state motorists to discuss DWI allegations with an experienced DWI defense lawyer from the state where the charges are filed.

A recent story from the East Coast does not involve an out-of-state motorist, but a driver in a single city accused of DWI a total of five separate times in just over a one-month period.

A man in Vineland, New Jersey has been put in jail on ,000 bail after being arrested on suspicion of driving while impaired, and drug charges. The man was arrested during a traffic stop just before noon Wednesday, and authorities claim that the DWI arrest is the man’s fifth DWI arrest in 38 days.

The most recent arrest followed a tip from a 911 caller about an erratic driver. Law enforcement apparently responded to the area and police claim that the man drifted across the lane before police pulled the man over.

Police say that they could see an open container in plain view during the traffic stop. Police also claim that the man had oxycodone without a proper prescription. It is not clear whether the most recent DWI charge is based upon oxycodone use. Authorities say that the man refused the DWI test in each of his five arrests over the past 38 days.

Law enforcement says that the same man was arrested just four days earlier on suspicion of DWI after he allegedly drove the wrong way on a one-way street in the same town.

Greenville DUI Attorney Blog | North Carolina Underage Drinking Lawyer | Pitt County First DUI Law Firm

So far this week The Century Council has visited five different schools with five different Congressmen and logged over 2,000 miles on the road. We’ve had a great time and are excited to have so many new kids join the Ask, Listen, Learn team!

Today, Congressman Charlie Dent (R-PA) met us at Frances D. Raub Middle School in Allentown, PA to introduce Ask, Listen, Learn to the school’s 6th and 7th grade students. They were all really excited to hear the congressman speak and to play the game. Congressman Dent even decided to play the game himself!

We’d like to say thanks to Congressman Dent, Principal Susan Elliot and all of the students at Frances D. Raub Middle School for their enthusiasm and for making today’s stop so great.

This has been a great week so far and we are looking at capping it off with another event in the West on Friday. We will be visiting Glendale Intermediate School in Salth Lake City, Utah with Attorney General Shurtleff. It should be another great event!

As you’ve probably noticed, we’ve spent the week on the road visiting schools across the country bringing the Ask, Listen, Learn program to hundreds of students. It’s been a great honor working with Representatives Gerlach, Grimm, Kind, Pallone and Dent as well as Attorney General Shurtleff this week. They all have a great passion for eliminating underage drinking and encouraging kids to live healthy lifestyles.

Today, we capped off the week with one last event. We visited Glendale Intermediate School in Salt Lake City, Utah with Attorney General Mark Shurtleff and John Freeman, the Deputy Director of the Utah Department of Alcohol Beverage Control. Everybody was really excited to begin the program and play the game. It’s always great to see the kids get excited to play a game that is educational and keeps them active.

All of us at The Century Council would like to thank all of the schools, the elected officials and everybody else who helped us put on this busy week of events. We wouldn’t be nearly as successful without all of their help!
