Unfortunately, some crimes involve luck (whether good or bad) and anyLos Angeles DUI defense attorney will tell you that having bad luck in your life is not good. For example, a man drove into an Orange County jail early Sunday morning and was arrested on suspicion of a Los Angeles area DUI after a small altercation with a police officer.
According to Lt. Janet Lonich of the Orange County Sheriff's Department, Matthew Van McDaniel, 25, drove a late-model Mercedes Benz through the front gate of the James A. Musick jail in Irvine at around 2:05 a.m.
McDaniel then proceeded to exit the vehicle, but left it in drive and it hit a tree inside of the jail, according to Lonich. After the car hit the tree, McDaniel got into "a little physical altercation" with an officer, leaving the officer with small cuts and bruises.
McDaniel was then arrested on suspicion of DUI, assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and unspecified weapons charges. No one was seriously hurt in the incident and neither the jail nor gates were damaged.
If convicted, McDaniel faces a slew of consequences that can have a serious effect on his record that can affect future employment, housing and loans, obtaining a professional license and more aspects of his life. These are common areas of life that can be severely affected when someone is convicted of a felony in California, including for a DUI conviction.
