Man shows up drunk for DUI sentencing
San Diego DUI attorney news
A driver with a history of driving drunk showed up at his DUI sentencing Monday plastered.
The Washington State Patrol says 35-year-old Joseph T. Longfellow of Woodinville was arrested December 2, 2007 at the scene of an accident in a construction zone on State Route 2020 near Sahalee Way in Redmond. Longfellow refused a breathalyzer and was ordered to appear for sentencing on a deferred prosecution.
Trooper Jeff Merrill says When Longfellow arrived at King County District Court in Redmond Monday afternoon, his attorney told the judge Longfellow had been drinking and appeared to be intoxicated.
The judge ordered Longfellow to take a breathalyzer, in which he blew a 0.32 – four times the legal limit in Washington state.
Instead of going to jail, Longfellow was taken to Overlake Hospital with possible alcohol poisoning. His sentencing will be rescheduled.
Longfellow has been arrested twice before for DUI.
