Arizona Law Enforcement Officers to Collect More Evidence from DUI Suspects

The state of Arizona especially increases its efforts during holidays such as the 4^th of July to nab drunken drivers when they know there are going to by many drunken drivers and that the roads will be very unsafe indeed.

However, this year onwards, state police are going to not only increase DUI checkpoints, but will also increase the amount of evidence that they collect from DUI suspects, as reported by kjzz.org.

The push to collect more evidence has come from DUI lawyers in Queen Creek, AZ, and there is none better in this realm than Zachary Law Group, P.L.C. (www.zacharylawgroup.com/) and this law firm proves it every day, and all across the state, proving to juries and judges in the past that just a breathalyzer machine result cannot be conclusive evidence of impairment via alcohol.

This is because breathalyzer machines actually measure breath alcohol levels and not blood alcohol levels. Furthermore, these machines need to be carefully pre-calibrated prior to use and this does not always happen, which often leads to drivers being wrongfully charged with a DUI.

As a result, if the only evidence that exists against a suspect in a DUI case is a breathalyzer result, then the defendant and his or her DUI attorney in Arizona, and there is none better in the Valley of the Sun than the Zachary Law Group, P.L.C. since this law firm’s track record is impressive, may be able to beat the DUI case by arguing the mentioned short comings of the breathalyzer machine. 

This is why law enforcement officers have amended their procedures to subject suspects to further sobriety testing such as blood samples, field sobriety tests, and so on.

Two Men Taken into Custody for Shooting DUI Suspect

Law enforcement officers have arrested two in connection with the shooting of a suspected DUI driver on State Route 87 near mile post 278, according to a kcsg.com report. The suspected drunk driver has been identified as 31 year old Jesse G. Olsson.

The suspects have been identified as 38 year old Shane A. Tebo and 28 year old Brandom M. Vongthongthip who both originate from Phoenix, Arizona. The men were northbound on State Route 87 when they observed a driver behind them swerving from one side to the other.

This is when they allege they called 911 and reported the possible drunk driver. However, the drunk driver then drove off the roadway and into a ditch. Tebo then drove his car and parked it in such a way so as to obstruct the drunk driver’s car from being able to get back onto the road. DUI lawyers in Queen Creek, AZ like this move – they do wish the 911 call though was more definitive.

DUI lawyers in Queen Creek, AZ sometimes have difficult cases to contemplate. But the Zachary Law Group, P.L.C. can handle it.  

Both men were carrying Glock weapons. Tebo then got out and walked towards the suspected drunk driver and seized the keys of his vehicle from him but was unable to reach out as the gap between the vehicles was too small. The drunk driver then tried to drive away and this is when Tebo fired several shots into both the engine and the driver and caught the driver in the chest once.

They should have just shot the tires or called 911 and followed this drunk driver.
