Merriman Arrested For DUI
Posted By Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin on Nov 14, 2011 9:05pm PST
Actor Ryan Merriman was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) last week in Newport Beach about 90 minutes south of Los Angeles. Merriman, who is 28 years old, was driving through Newport Beach when local law enforcement officials spotted him rolling past the solid white line at a stoplight. After pulling the actor over, police arrested him on suspicion of driving under influence of alcohol and took him to a nearby jail. No word has been given as to when Merriman is next expected in court. Merriman is perhaps best known for his work on the film "Final Destination 3," which was released in 2006. More recently, the actor has worked on the television show "Pretty Little Liars."
If you are facing DUI charges, call the offices of Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin, LLP today at 1-877-781-1570 to speak to a top-notch Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney right away. Our attorneys have a combined five decades of experience in successfully defending people like you against DUI charges and we know what it takes to win. For example, an experienced
Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney can tell you that before local law enforcement agents can pull you over on suspicion of DUI, they must first observe you driving either dangerously or in some way illegally. In Merriman's case, officers saw the actor not stop before the solid white line just before a stop light at an intersection. In many cases, especially on weekend nights and in areas near bars and clubs, local law enforcement agents actively look for people who do not properly stop at stop signs, people who are speeding or swerving in their lanes, or even people with expired vehicle registration to pull over. An experienced
Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney knows that most of these stops are simply pretexts to see if drivers are actually impaired because of alcohol consumption. If you are facing DUI charges, a thorough
Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney will comb through every detail of your case both with you and through police reports to determine whether or not you were fairly pulled over by police before you were arrested. If your
Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney can prove that police had no actual reason to pull you over in the first place, charges against you may be reduced or even dismissed altogether. If you are up against DUI charges, you may feel intimidated by a large and often confusing criminal justice system, but you do not have to go through the legal process alone.
