Tampa Bay Criminal Defense Lawyer - DUI bust

By Nick Dorsten, Esq.

From the St. Pete Times website, sometimes you have to know when enough is enough...

SPRING HILL, FL — When a deputy saw a driver weaving between lanes and going off the road in a southbound lane on the Suncoast Parkway Thursday afternoon, he pulled him over and soon discovered the man has a lengthy history of traffic offenses.

The suspect, who has three DUI convictions dating back to 2003 and whose driver's license has been revoked 15 times (driving while license is suspended), now faces several more charges.

The man, 30, of Lutz, told deputies that he had consumed a beer and had taken four pills, including oxycodone and methacarbamol, according to a Hernando County Sheriff's Office report.

The man, who had a set of brass knuckles in his pants pocket (which could land him a carrying a concealed weapon charge), refused to take a breath test, the report states. He was arrested on his fourth DUI charge along with three other related charges. The charges were most likely a refusal to submit to a breath test, DWLSR and a traffic offense.
