Top Police Officer arrested after DUI Accident
San Diego DUI attorney news
A former crusading state police commissioner who in 1996 called drunk drivers "fatalities waiting to happen" has been charged with a DUI after a minor accident in the Harrisburg suburbs.
Lower Paxton Township police said Paul Evanko was arrested Friday night.
Police said Evanko was driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.183 percent, which is more than twice the limit of 0.08 percent at which a driver is considered to be drunk. The state police would not comment on his drunk driving arrest - it can happen to anyone, right?
But DUI attorneys and Drunk Driving lawyers expressed hypocrisy, shock and dismay at the news of Evanko's DUI arrest.
