Despite numerous public campaigns against the dangers of driving while drunk, every year thousands of people are still getting arrested and penalized with prison sentences and heavy fines for DWI Conviction. If you’ve been drinking at a party or celebrating, it’s a bad idea to drive if you’ve had a drink or two. Drunk drivers cause serious and fatal accidents. The numbers are frightening than you might think.
A DWI charge is anything but serious. It can lead to a criminal conviction and the possibility of a suspended driving license. An individual charged with a DWI conviction will have dire implications not only in his/her personal life but on their insurance rates as well.
The following is a story of a woman who was relieved of duty after a DWI charge. A 25-year-veteran with the Houston Police Department was relieved of duty after allegations that she was driving while intoxicated.
The woman was arrested shortly before midnight. A person called police when they saw she was blocking two lanes of traffic at North Houston Rosslyn Road and 34th. Police said they determined that she was impaired and she was charged with driving while intoxicated.
The woman joined the Houston police force in 1992 and was currently working in the property room as a senior police officer. She was relieved of duty with pay pending the outcome of an internal investigation.
