Another Elected Official Arrested for DUI

What is more embarrassing?  Getting busted for DUI as a city council member, or getting busted for DUI in a minivan? Well look no further than seventy-two year old city councilman William J. Craig of LaFayette. Georgia.

He should be able to answer that question after his arrest on Wednesday night. According to reports, Trooper Jason Geddie stopped Craig’s minivan around 11:00 Wednesday night after noticing the vehicle driving erratically.

Upon speaking with Craig, the trooper noticed the smell of alcohol, and administered field sobriety tests. He was then taken to the Walker County Jail for a breath test. He blew .12. He was charged with DUI after all testing was complete. He was reportedly cooperative with police through the entire process.

Craig joined the city council in January of 2008, and has served in several administrative roles throughout his career. DUI’s everywhere are frowned upon. The defendants are looked at as “bad people”. This case proves once again that anyone who drinks can find themselves defending their innocence in court. Several states have begun using ignition interlock devices for repeat offenders in DUI cases. Why not put them on ALL vehicles registered in EVERY state to prevent one’s first offense from ever happening? Why can’t all legislators starting at the city council level push for such laws?

This is just one more example of the truth that MADD and the justice system don't want you to know.  The very people who rant and rave about drunk driving and try to demonize those who get caught are just as guilty as the rest.  Nobody who gets behind the wheel above the legal limit knows whether they are above or below the limit, but they feel like they are perfectly fine to drive.  That's because the government's narcotics distribution conspiracy is pushing ethyl alcohol, an insidious drug that makes people lose their judgment.  It's a guaranteed recipe for disaster.  Drunk driving disaster.
