San Diego California DUI sweep, attorneys tell about high school teenagers being educated
San Diego California DUI attorneys report five people are in custody following a San Diego California DUI warrant sweep in Chula Vista.
All five people arrested throughout the day Monday were convicted San Diego California DUI drivers who did not complete the terms of their probation or violated orders to appear in court, according to San Diego California lawyers. The suspects were taken to San Diego County Jail, San Diego California drunk driving attorneys said. Their names were not immediately released.
Teenagers are often warned about the dangers of drinking and driving, but rarely do they see the consequences play out in person.
In front of dozens of High School students, a Superior Court Judge held a real hearing for a 25-year-old Watsonville woman charged with driving while having a blood-alcohol content three times the legal limit.
Inside the auditorium, the judge sentenced Keema Morrison, who pleaded guilty, to pay more than $2,000 in fines and serve four days in County Jail and five years on probation.
"You were very lucky in this case," the judge told defendant, adding that she could have seriously injured herself or others. "I wish you luck, but know this is going to follow you for some time."
The person volunteered to have her case heard as part of the Real DUI Court in Schools program planned by the court administration and county Office of Education.
In a 2007 California Health Kids Survey, 44 percent of Santa Cruz County youth reported having had five or more drinks in a two-hour time span sometime during the previous month. Nearly a third reported driving under the influence and 40 percent reported riding in a vehicle driven by someone who had been drinking.
The California DUI driver was arrested in August after a California Highway Patrol observed her vehicle across lanes on southbound Highway 1. Authorities said she later admitted to drinking two 24-ounce bottles .
