Popular OC Bar Under Investigation For Too Many DUI's

A local Orange County bar is being investigated for the amount of drunk drivers that are pulled over once they have left the bar.

According to the Huntington Beach Independent, the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control is investigating Baja Sharkeez in downtown Huntington Beach after Police Chief Ken Small sent in a letter outlining his concerns. Based on the DUI arrest data, 72 Sharkeez customers were arrested for driving under the influence in a 22 month period. Sharkeez owner Ron Newman believes that the police are preying on his bar because it is popular and says that officers are constantly stationed outside of the bar, waiting to arrest patrons.

OC Might Post Multiple DUI Offender Information on Facebook

Devin Dwyer, a Huntington Beach councilman, is trying to get the Police Department to post information and booking pictures from California DUI offenders up on a popular networking site.

According to the Huntington Beach Independent, voting will take place on Monday afternoon at the City Hall on whether the local police department will post information on Facebook. Dwyer believes that by posting multiple DUI offender's information will shame them into not repeating the offense as well as inform the public of those driving under the influence.

We believe that you deserve to have your name cleared before you end up on a social media sight; contact our California DUI Attorneys if you have been recently arrested.
