DUI in the Drive-Thru?

This DUI story out of Ohio highlights that you can be stopped for driving under the influence just about anywhere you drive your car, including a Taco Bell drive-thru.

As reported by the Plain Dealer, Ohio police say a woman insisted on picking up her fast food before stopping for police.

According to the newspaper, police in suburban North Royalton got a call about a car weaving and going off a road at a little after 1 a.m. earlier this month. A patrolman tracked the vehicle to the drive-thru of a Taco Bell restaurant and pulled up alongside.

The police report says the driver had sunglasses on and her speech was slurred. She was ordered to get out of the line, but first she proceeded to the second window to grab her order.

According to police, the woman's blood-alcohol level tested at nearly twice the legal limit.

This story reinforces what not to do during a California DUI stop. It is always best to immediately pull over when requested to do so by California law enforcement.

If you have been arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence in California, it is imperative to contact an experienced California DUI defense attorney.
