DA cited for DUI after crashing cars two times in 6 hours on same highway
DUI attorneys report District Attorney Robert Beckett has been cited on suspicion of DUI - drunk driving after crashing cars twice in six hours on the same California desert highway.
Beckett was not seriously hurt in either drunk driving crash, although both vehicles overturned and were badly damaged, DUI attorneys said.
The first crash, reported at 1:35 p.m. Sunday, involved a Nye County-owned 2003 Ford Expedition that crashed off Highway 127 near Shoshone, California, DUI attorneys report.
Six hours later, Beckett failed a blood-alcohol breath test and was issued a summons for driving while intoxicated after the second crash, California DUI attorneys said.
Beckett, 49, has not issued a comment in regards to these citations, DUI attorneys are told.
He is currently a candidate for a six-year term as a Nevada state judge according to DUI attorneys.
