DUIs, Not Always the Result of a Calm Traffic Stop

DUIs, Not Always the Result of a Calm Traffic Stop

The Press Enterprise posted an article on September 26, 2017 discussing a 34 year old Fullerton man arrested on suspicion of felony evading and DUI charges after a car chase. Police identified the suspect as Nathan Darrington.  The arrest occurred on Sunday, September 21, 2017 after an officer was stopped at the intersection of Milliken Avenue and Fourth Street in Rancho Cucamonga.  Darrington was in an adjacent business parking lot and was observed yelling expletives and then drove away.  The officer pursued him; Darrington failed to yield to the officer’s lights and sirens and lead officers on a high-speed pursuit as he drove for several miles while exceeding speeds of 100 mph.   Eventually Darrington lost control of his vehicle and crashed his car into a chain link fence; he was then arrested.

Aside from the DUI charges, Darrington will face additional charges of reckless driving, evading a police officer, as well as resisting arrest.  

A DUI arrest alone is a serious charge; however, things can get much worse when a driver tries to flee.  Reckless driving and/or evading charges can be a felony.   Innocent motorists are placed in danger and bystanders can be seriously injured. 

If you or anyone you may know are currently facing DUI or other related charges, the first step you should take after being released from jail is to focus on planning your defense with an experienced attorney to assist you through this difficult process.  Do your research and find an attorney that will protect your rights and is an expert in DUI defense.
