Arrested Twice
William Lagodney, Jr., age 42,was arrested in Catawba Island, OH and charged with a DUI. Another driver took him home…so he or she was supposed to. They didn’t stay with him because within six hours of his last arrest…he was arrested again.
I’m surprised he was able to move much after the first one because they had to pull him out of a ditch after he ran in there on his motorcycle also, he was charged with failure to wear a helmet. His BAC level was .1999 (legal limit is .08). The second time he was stopped was for speeding in his care with expired plates. His BAC was .24. Does this man have a death wish?
I don’t think that he is going to die of a failed liver, if he continues on this path. He is going to kill himself or someone else. If he kills someone else then he will be in jail…with NO ALCOHOL. Then he will probably die of insanity. The judge has a big case in front of him or her.
The penalties for Ohio in a DUI case is:
Immediate suspension of license if driver refuses to take any of the sobriety tests.
Possibility of license suspension from 90 days to five years.
Jail time will be determined by a judge (depends on the situation of the DUI arrest) he has to enroll in the three day driver intervention program (I guess he is up to six days now)
$200 to $1,000 in fines and fees
Court license suspension from six months to three years.
Since he took care of first and second offense within the same evening, he should get the maximum for both. Judge Michele’s verdict: Ten years suspended license, one week driver intervention program, two years of jail, $2,000 in fines and fees, and six years of court license suspension. If he would be caught driving any vehicle within the sixteen years of his suspension after his release from prison, he would have another six months in jail and $1,000 in fines and fees not including the reason he was pulled over in the first place.
I bet there are many people very happy that I have not studied law, and there is not possibility of me getting a position of judge. I do not take breaking the law…especially when other people are in danger. The only way that he would have gotten a worse verdict would be is if he endangered a child or an animal.
If he is going to be so relaxed about the DUI that he will get caught in six hours of his first arrest, than he needs to be off the streets. This is a person who needs to be addressed severely to make sure that he doesn’t hurt or kill anyone…including himself. Hopefully, the judge will take all of this in consideration and get this punk off the streets for a long time. We will find out by the middle of May this year.
