Exposing children to the risks of being in a vehicle with an impaired driver could have severe consequences. Florida courts have no tolerance for adults who are arrested for endangering the lives of children. One such driver will likely be exploring his defense options after a recent arrest on charges that include DUI, child neglect, resisting arrest and some controlled substance-related charges.

According to a police report, the DUI suspect thought he was in Clearwater, and he was under the impression that it was about 10 p.m. while the police report indicates that it was 2 a.m.

According to a Florida man, one of the worst things anyone could go through is to sit behind bars for a crime he or she did not commit. This happened to him after he was falsely arrested for drug crimes in December and was unable to pay the bond of half-a-million dollars.
