Gibson Gets a DUI for Not Listening to LA Police!

Gibson Gets a DUI for Not Listening to LA Police!

Actor Thomas Gibson arrested for DUI this morning for disobeying the LAPD.

The “Criminal Minds” and “Dharma and Greg” actor, Thomas Gibson, was driving home at 1 am when he stopped for road blocks set up for a Los Angelas half marathon.  Police officials told Gibson that he could not proceed forward and must take an alternate route home.  Gibson ingnored the police and drove into the marathon route.

Idiot!  Rule number 1: follow law enforcements resonable requests, especially if you are possibly DUI!

Lucky for Thomas Gibson he didn’t endanger any of the marathon participants as they had already run  that portion of the road.  However, unlucky for Gibson, whom placed a huge target on his own back for disregarding the law, was pulled over by officers.  The police reported they could smell alcohol on his breath and charged him with DUI.  Gibson did do one thing right that night, he used his legal rights to refuse to take the DUI portable breath test.

TMZ.com reported Gibson’s bail had been set at $15,000 and that he was still in police custody.

Lesson learned… listen to the police and avoid DUI charges.

Teammate dies due to DUI – Dallas Cowboys

Teammate dies due to DUI – Dallas Cowboys

A sad story, yet powerful portrayal of how devastating driving under the influence “DUI” can be.

According to TMZ. com, on December 8th at 2AM, Dallas Cowboy nose tackle football player, Josh Brent, flipped his Mercedes over into the middle of the street by hitting a sidewalk curb at high speeds while DUI.  In the car with Brent was passenger and teammate linebacker Jerry Brown.  When police approached the scene they saw Brent pulling the lifeless body of Brown from the smoking upside down vehicle.  Jerry Brown was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Police suspected DUI.  Josh Brent was subjected to DUI field sobriety tests and failed.  He was also taken to the hospital where he had his blood drawn to render DUI blood alcohol levels.  Blood results have yet to be released to the public.  Brent was arrested and booked by police.

Josh Brent has been charged with one count of intoxicated manslaughter and could face up to 20 years of prison if found guilty.  Brent has a prior conviction of DUI on his record, while in college he pled guilty to a DUI misdemeanor.

What has been learned from this story?  Being convicted of DUI isn’t just simply a slap on the wrist by paying court fees, possible jail time, and losing your license.  DUI’s can cause much more devastation;  years of jail time, loss of your career and life as you know it, and even the loss of someone’s life.
