DUI Charge Faced by Jail Employee

Orlando Attorney — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 01:45:29 +0000

Pinellas County Sheriff’s office arrested a jail employee on allegations of DUI yesterday. According to authorities, Diane Ferron, an assistant inmate records supervisor, was leaving work Wednesday when she lost control of her vehicle and plowed through the jail’s exterior chain-link fence. Ferron, a civilian employee at the Pinellas County jail was charged with driving under the influence after reportedly crashing through a jail fence.

When deputies responded, they noted that Ferron seemed to be impaired. She reportedly failed a field sobriety test, but deputies ruled out alcohol. Ferron said she had taken prescription medication.

Ferron was charged with DUI and DUI with property damage. Since both charges are misdemeanors, the sheriff’s office reports that Ferron will be allowed to return to work pending an internal inquiry.

Florida penalties for a DUI with accident are considered more severe than an ordinary DUI charge. When a crash is involved, the minimum charge is a 1^st degree misdemeanor which means the potential jail sentence is 1 year instead of 6 months.

Orlando DUI License Suspension Overturned

Orlando Attorney — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 20:52:52 +0000

A few weeks ago, Tilden Law was contacted by a client who had been arrested in Orlando on a DUI charge that resulted in her driver license being suspended for refusing to take the breath test. According to the police report, our client was accused of weaving within her own lane of travel and with having a tail light out. Once stopped by police, the officer noted a smell of alcohol and requested she participate in Field Sobriety Exercises. As a result of her performance, the officer arrested and charged our client with DUI. At the breath testing facility, our client refused to provide a breath sample after being read implied consent. The result of her refusal was a one (1) year driver license suspension.

Attorney, N. Fleetwood Tilden, filed for a Formal Review Hearing on behalf of our client to challenge the suspension of her license. At the hearing, Mr. Tilden cross examined the arresting officer and determined that several errors were made in both the preparation and filing of the documents by the officer. Mr. Tilden motioned the hearing officer to invalidate the suspension of our client’s driver license which was granted. As a result, our client now has her full driver license reinstated without cost or penalty.

If you have been arrested or charged with a DUI in Orlando and are facing criminal prosecution in either Orange County, Seminole County, Florida, or if you have had your driver license suspended for a DUI, contact the attorneys at Tilden Law for an initial and confidential consultation, 407-599-1234.

Captain Mike Rolls of the Marion County Sheriff’s department couldn’t believe his eyes in the early morning hours of September 15, 2009. Rolls was on patrol traveling eastbound on State Road 200 near Interstate 75 when he saw the strange sight driving westbound toward the interstate’s northbound on-ramp. A motorcyclist who just passed him wasn’t wearing any clothes.

The driver, Dante J. Krauss, 45, of Dunnellon, whose arrest record includes four prior DUI convictions and a 10 year driver license revocation, bonded out of the Marion County Jail later the same day. According to the arrest report, Krauss admitted to drinking and stated that the last thing he remembered was going to Hooters.

Krauss was given a shirt, courtesy of a nearby hotel, and his lower body was covered with a shawl that had been on the handlebars of the motorcycle.

A field sobriety exercise was performed, and Krauss reportedly failed, at which time he was taken to the Marion County Jail. During a breath test, he reportedly registered a blood-alcohol content of 0.178 and 0.162. The state’s legal limit is 0.08.

Thirteen people whose drivers license were suspended or revoked were arrested after they drove away fromcourt in Delray Beach, Florida. Florida Highway Patrol troopers stopped the thirteen individuals shortly after they left the parking lot of the courthouse knowing that each had lost their driving privileges.

Undercover officers in plain cloths attended the court session in which a judge had suspended these indivisuals drivers licenses and warned each of them not to drive until their driver license had been reinstated. After observing the violators drive off, uniformed troopers were notified and the individuals stopped and arrested.

The crackdown is part of a statewide sting operation by the Florida Highway Patrol targeting those who drive to and from court proceedings despite having their drivers license suspended.
