Domestic Violence Director gets second DUI charge
California DUI criminal defense attorney news
The director of a domestic violence and rape crisis center in Merced was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of driving under the influence and a hit & run crash.
Diana Almanza was booked into the Merced County Jail at 12:59 a.m. Saturday and released a few hours later, authorities said.
Almanza is the executive director of A Woman's Place.
The charges should sound familiar to Almanza. They're the same ones she was booked on a last weekend.
In that earlier incident, Almanza was arrested in the parking lot of a Merced market. Authorities allege she went there to buy wine after sideswiping a parked car and ran up and curb and over a city street sign.
She showed signs of intoxication and that she admitted to taking Vicodin earlier in the day, officers said.
Field sobriety and breath tests put Almanza's blood-alcohol level of 0.06 and 0.07, just below the legal limit a person is considered intoxicated
