San Diego Criminal Defense Lawyer — Wed, 16 May 2012 18:35:00 GMT

Were you recently arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in San Diego? If so, you might be facing two criminal counts. The first count is for operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. In the state of California, driving while impaired by a substance is illegal and punishable by law. Second, if you took a breath test or blood alcohol test and your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) registered at 0.08% or higher, you could face a second DUI count because the state's legal limit is 0.08%. Anything at that level or above can lead to additional criminal charges.

If you have questions about your California DUI arrest and what options you have to defend yourself, it is advised that you contact the Superior Law Center now to set up a case evaluation with a San Diego criminal defense lawyer from our team. We have handled numerous DUI cases and we would welcome the chance to review your case, address your questions, and provide you with aggressive legal representation as you take on your charges.

In San Diego, California, local police and federal agents were able to detain a wanted fugitive known for carrying out large-scale fraud crimes. The fugitive, D.L.C., was a one-time Dorado Hills resident that was wanted for committing white collar crimes. Since his arrest, D.L.C. has been sitting in jail in Sacramento and is waiting for his first court appearance. The FBI would not comment on D.L.C.'s arrest, but they did file documents to obtain an arrest warrant in his name. The paperwork stated that D.L.C. took a $1 million investment for a mineral extraction company in the state of Arizona. However, he was not authorized to represent that organization.

Documents also reveal that D.L.C. obtained loans on false pretenses in the amounts of $75,000 and $25,000. He is also accused of forging papers which he sent to his lenders.

Police responded to a bizarre call last week in San Diego, California. Allegedly, a father had slashed his own son's forearms after reportedly hearing voices in his head telling him to do so. The man has been taken into custody while his son receives medical treatment for the wounds. A woman visiting the cemetery called the police when she saw the father, 30-year-old J.R., start to slash the 8-year-old boy's arms. He kept shouting "we're going to Jesus" until he realized that the woman was watching him. The father then pushed his son away and tried to run from the cemetery. A security guard was able to tackle him and detain the suspect until police arrived on the scene.

The father will be charged with assault with a deadly weapon and child abuse. He is currently being held at the hospital for psychiatric evaluation. Right now, it is uncertain who the child will be released to once he has recovered from the violent crime.

Female Officer Involved in DUI Hit and Run Given Probation

San Diego Criminal Defense Lawyer — Thu, 03 May 2012 15:00:00 GMT

A female officer involved in a hit-and-run DUI accident was sentenced last week in Riverside, California. In exchange for her guilty plea, news sources say that the judge was lenient when sentencing her. He also took into consideration the fact that the suspect, B.C., was a first-time offender. The Probation Department compiled a 17-page report with recommendations on how to sentence B.C. After reviewing the document, the judge struck some items that conflicted with the suspect's employment with the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. There were several parties that gave glowing recommendations for the defendant, in spite of her serious accident last summer.

Due to several factors, including her willingness to enter into a treatment program, the judge sentenced B.C. to 90 days of monitored home detention and five years' probation. Since she does have a good record as a police officer, the judge was amenable to the home detention sentence instead of placing her into an overcrowded jail cell. Were you detained by police for suspicion of DUI? If so, contact Superior Law Center now to get a San Diego criminal defense lawyer involved in your case immediately.

A former quarterback finds himself in legal trouble with the law for the second time. After being arrested back in 2009, Ryan Leaf was placed on probation. When he was arrested earlier this month in Texas, he violated the terms of his probation, a fact which has not gone unnoticed by the district attorney overseeing his case. Leaf went to court in 2010 and his attorney worked out a plea bargain with the prosecutor that allowed him to avoid jail time while serving probation. However, when he was arrested this month for drug possession and burglary, the district attorney was forced to file a motion to have his probation revoked.

At this time, the police department is not releasing details about Leaf's arrest. It is known that he was taken into custody and booked on charges of felony burglary of a residence, misdemeanor theft and criminal possession of dangerous drugs. The former NFL player was released the day he was arrested on $76,000 bond. He is due back in court next week. Are you facing multiple criminal offenses in Southern California?
