Uso Arrested for DUI
Professional wrestling star Jimmy Uso (whose real name is Jonathan Fatu) was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) last week while down in Florida. Uso, who currently works with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), was spotted by a local law enforcement officer in Tampa at around 3 o'clock in the morning on September 29th driving the wrong way on a one-way street. The officer who pulled Uso over described the wrestler as showing several signs of alcohol impairment, including slurring his speech and being glassy-eyed at the scene. Uso was given a breath analysis (also known as "breathalyzer") test, which showed his blood alcohol content to be 0.18% --more than twice the legal limit of 0.08% in Florida. Uso, who is the second cousin of wrestler and actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, was taken to a local jail and later released after posting $500 bail.
While it seems like a new celebrity or athlete gets arrested for DUI every day, any Los Angeles DUI defense attorney can tell you that DUIs are serious business that can land you in jail. If you have been arrested for drinking and driving, the first thing you need to do is find an experienced and skilled
Los Angeles DUI defense attorney right away. The right Los Angeles DUI defense attorney can guide you through the often confusing and intimidating DUI legal process, which typically includes two different court proceedings. A good
Los Angeles DUI defense attorney will tell you that after being arrested for drinking and driving, you have just ten days to find an attorney and schedule a trial with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), or your driving privileges will be automatically suspended until after the criminal portion of your DUI case is decided. If being able to drive to work every day is important to you, having a skilled Los Angeles DUI defense attorney help you keep your driver's license is invaluable. A good DUI defense attorney will work equally as hard for you in the criminal portion of your case, and may even be able to have your case dismissed altogether under the right circumstances. For instance, charges against you might be dropped if your
Los Angeles DUI defense attorney can prove that police stopped you improperly in the first place. By law, a police or highway patrol officer must have a good reason for pulling you over if he or she suspects you have been drinking and driving. If you were following all traffic laws, not driving dangerously or erratically and there is nothing wrong with your car, the police may not have had a reason to stop you at all.
