Lindsay Lohan’s DUI
27-May-2007
Written by: Jackson Reeves

Lindsay Lohan charged with DUI after police find cocaine in her crashed car.

Lindsay Lohan, whose movie Georgia Rule premiered May 11, crashed her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 on a curb on Sunset Boulevard, in Beverly Hills, CA at 5:30 a.m. on May 26. Police investigators found what appeared to be cocaine at the scene of the accident.

Lt. Mitch McCann stated that Lohan was not in immediate possession of the illegal drug, and that Lohan was released to hospital custody for treatment of minor injuries from the crash. However, police still charged Lohan with the misdemeanor of driving under the influence, since the crash seemed to have resulted from speeding, possibly caused by a cocaine-induced, hyperactive state.

The 20-year-old actress and pop singer will need to appear in court to answer the DUI citation, as reported by the website X17 Inc.

Earlier this year, Morgan Creek Productions CEO James G. Robinson admonished Lohan, in a now well-publicized memo, for “discourteous, irresponsible, and unprofessional” conduct – probably resulting from the same source as her DUI: her notorious partying lifestyle – during filming of Georgia Rule.

Lohan admitted to dabbling with drugs after achieving star status with 2004’s Mean Girls, but she denied ever using cocaine, Vanity Fair reported in its January 2006 issue. The Catholic-raised Lohan cited her estranged father, Michael Lohan’s abuse of cocaine and resultant jail time as her prime reason for her anti-cocaine resolve.

However, after exiting rehab for alcohol abuse in early May, Lohan returned to drinking, and grainy pictures surfaced soon-thereafter (and later…a movie version that currently circulates the web!), depicting Lohan snorting a line of cocaine off of a toilet in Teddy’s nightclub in L.A., reported the News of the World.

On the day before her car accident, Lohan stated that she was growing more mature and that her notorious partying lifestyle, which aligned her with the likes of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, was just a character-type that she is dramaturgically trying on for size. She said, “I’m just a girl, but I’m growing up; I’m learning,” as support for her developing maturity and an insistence that she had changed, reported Hollywood.com.

Unfortunately, Lohan makes no signs of slowing down in spite of her DUI, with regards at least to alcohol. She has already publicly proclaimed that she will spend her 21st birthday – the first time that she will legally be allowed to drink alcohol – drinking vodka at her Svedka sponsored bash on July 2, as reported by Us Weekly.

Man busted while drunk driving in wheelchair Oddly Enough Reuters

BERLIN (Reuters) - A wheelchair-bound German stunned police when they pulled him over for using the road and found he was 10 times over the legal alcohol limit for drivers.
"He was right in the middle of the road," said a spokesman for police in the northeastern city of Schwerin Tuesday. "The officers couldn't quite believe it when they saw the results of the breath test. That's a life-threatening figure."
The 31-year-old told police he had been out drinking with a friend and was a little over a mile from home when a squad car stopped him as he passed through the village of Ventschow.
Police said that because the man was technically traveling as a pedestrian, he could not be charged with a driving offence.


"It's not like we can impound his wheelchair," the spokesman said. "But he is facing some sort of punishment. It's just not clear yet what exactly that will be."

Wallpaper What is left for Russia to export to China?

So, with the recent IL-76 controversy, I compiled a list of things I think China still might buy from Russia.

Land Force:
Not sure really - China never did import that much in this area.

Air Defense:
So, there is another 8 S-300PMU2 battalion order. After that, there is the S-400 system and the S-300V. At this point, I think there is still possibility of another purchase toward either S-400 or S-300V, especially since China needs to develop a NMD system. How far the domestic system in HQ-9 has come in ABM capability is unknown, but I would think not as much as S-300V. Tor-M1 discussions pretty much ended for good a few months ago. Buk-M1 has never been in consideration.

Air Force:
Transport/Tanker - I still think China will eventually settle on IL-76 or one of the large Antonov transports for another order before their own large transport gets developed. Clearly, the existing IL-76s are needed to be converted into KJ-2000, so they do lack large transports. And H-6U is not really ideal as the tanker.
AAMs - can't see any future purchases here.
Ground attack munitions - again, can't see any future purchases here unless for su-30s
Fighters - I think they might go ahead with upgrading some of their existing flankers. I don't think it makes a lot of sense for them to purchase su-34/35 at this point, since the domestic J-11 projects seem to be finally bearing fruits.
Bombers - Unless it's Tu-160, I doubt there will be anything. China clearly has no interest in Tu-22M and Tu-95
Avionics - Possibly upgrading su-30 with Irbis (as mentionned in JDW a while back)
Engine - Possibly another AL-31 order after this, but it really depends on how well WS-10A is going. I think RD-93 is definitely stopping after this first 150 engine order.
Helicopter - possibly some more sales of Mi17 and Mi-26, but that's about it

Navy:
Submarines - looks like they are not interested in any more Russian subs. Amur was offered, but it seems like China is more interested in their own next generation SSK. Nuclear sub technology could be one area where China gets help from, but it's not clear how much such technology have been offered.

ASW/Torpedo - They will need more Ka-28 until Z-15 naval version or the 10 tonne helo is ready. Yu-6 finally seems to have achieved a certain level and the imported Test torpedoes seem to not be used on any of the domestic submarines. I think that's a sign of the confidence to Yu-6. Be-200 order was mentionned last year, hasn't mentionned more since, but I think it will go through, since they need a replacement for SH-5.

Destroyers/Frigates - No more orders imo, although possibly upgrading the first two Sovs to using the later versions of Moskit and shtil.

Other ships - Possibly a replenishment ship or hospital ship. But Zubr orders are going through imo.

Aircraft Carrier - some assistance on Carrier operation and parts needed + a couple of su-33s, I don't even think they will extend the order to 14.

Missiles - Not more AShM, they had problems firing klub according to a recent article I read. The Russian SAMs are not likely to get any orders since HH-9/16 seem to be standard for future Destroyers/frigates. Like? What is left for Russia to export to China? for wallpaper?

Scalia's daughter denied bid for restricted licensePublished May 17, 2007
A DuPage County judge Wednesday denied the daughter of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia her request for a restricted driver's license.Ann Banaszewski, 45, a Wheaton mother of five, had her license automatically suspended on March 30 for six months when she refused to submit to a Breathalyzer test after being arrested in February on drunken driving charges.

Her attorney, Top Illinois DUI Attorney Donald Ramsell, sought a restricted license to allow her to drive her children to school, arguing state law permits such licenses to allow people to drive to and from work during the suspension of their license."She is employed as a homemaker," said Ramsell. "No doubt, this is work, this is employment. This is not for her benefit, but for her children and husband."The request sought permission for her to drive her children from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and to AA meetings.DuPage Judge Daniel Guerin ruled the request improper under state law."This is certainly an interesting and progressive viewpoint," he said. "I certainly understand her household chores. But I am limited by the specific language of the state statutes."Ramsell and DuPage prosecutors were unsuccessful in reaching a negotiated settlement of the case before Guerin's ruling.The case has been continued until May 30.

COURTESY OF MIAMI-DADE CORRECTIONS
Utpal Dighe
Blog Crime Scene
Prosecutor Utpal Dighe was fired Wednesday, hours after police say he bought marijuana from a dealer in Coconut Grove.
The Miami-Dade state attorney's office has asked the governor's office to appoint a special prosecutor to handle his case, which is routinely done to avoid any conflict of interest.
Dighe was charged with one count of third-degree felony purchase of cannabis and one misdemeanor count of cannabis possession.
''As a prosecutor, one is sworn to uphold our criminal laws, not violate them. I cannot tolerate one of my prosecutors behaving as if their oath of office required no personal commitment to the law,'' State Attorney Katherine Fernández Rundle said in a statement.
Dighe was booked into Miami-Dade County Jail Wednesday morning and has since posted $6,000 bond. He could not be reached for comment.
According to a Miami police arrest report, Dighe pulled up in his black Acura to a dealer on Grand Avenue Tuesday night.
Detective Willie B. Smith, of the Crime Suppression Team, says he spotted Dighe buying the drugs. His car was pulled over. According to the police report, he told an officer ``Please, just take it. Let me go. I can't go to jail. . . . I will lose my job.''
Dighe joined the state attorney's office in 2004. In November 2006, he was reprimanded after he approved an 18-month plea bargain for a career criminal accused of stealing a police officer's gun. Dighe offered the plea without consulting police or his supervisors, drawing the ire of the Police Benevolent Association, Miami-Dade's police union.
Dighe is the third prosecutor to be arrested during the past 13 months.
In March 2006, Ramon Sarmiento was arrested after an off-duty police officer working at the nightclub Space said he found seven Ecstasy pills in the man's pocket. He resigned from the state attorney's office; the charges were later dropped.
In January, veteran prosecutor George Cholakis was arrested after police say he drove drunk and hit a scooter ridden by two people, seriously injuring them.

Ohio needs to toughen DUI laws

Why do we continue to tolerate drunks who drive, crash and kill people?

Drunken driving is a huge problem in Ohio. For every 10 cars that drive past you, one is likely to be driven by someone convicted of driving under the influence.

ADVERTISEMENT

According to Department of Public Safety figures dating back to 1973, there are almost 36,000 drivers with five or more drunken-driving convictions in Ohio. There are 312 people in Muskingum County with five or more DUI convictions, including two with a staggering 16 convictions each.

Last year, 52.9 percent of the 528 people convicted in Muskingum County of operating a vehicle under the influence were repeat offenders. That's far above the state average of 41.2 percent for repeat offenders.

After a run of fatalities at the hands of repeat offenders, the General Assembly is belatedly taking action.

Last week, the Ohio Senate unanimously passed a bill requiring Ohioans with multiple drunken-driving convictions to take breath tests when stopped by police, and to wear bracelets to monitor alcohol levels through their sweat.

Blood-alcohol tests would be mandatory for anyone with two or more DUI convictions.

The measure moves to the House, which likely will consider a proposal that would require anyone convicted of drunken driving to install an ignition-locking device. The device won't allow the car to start if the driver has been drinking.

While they are at it, legislators should close the loophole that ties judges' hands when it comes to repeat offenders. A man in Cincinnati only got six months in jail for his eighth DUI in 30 years because of the time gaps between his convictions.

It's impossible to eliminate drunken driving entirely. But tougher laws and greater vigilance among us all can reduce the number of intoxicated drivers - and the deaths they inevitably cause.
