“Ultimate Survivor Alaska” Star Flees From Hospital to Avoid Felony Theft and DUI Charges

“Ultimate Survivor Alaska” Star Flees From Hospital to Avoid Felony Theft and DUI Charges

Talk about survival skills…  After being crushed in a serious car accident Ultimate Survivor Alaska star, Tyler Johnson somehow convinced hospital staff to quickly write-up discharge papers so he could flee the hospital and escape from cops and the criminal charges of theft and DUI.

According to police reports, a few weeks ago Johnson had been drinking alcohol in Anchorage Alaska  when he decided to steal a car.  He took it on a drunken joy ride and then lost control, causing the car to flip.  Johnson wasn’t wearing his seatbelt and he was thrown through the front windshield.  Later he was found pinned under the car and was rushed to the nearest hospital.  Knowing that he had broken the law, Johnson went into survival mode… he must have been ignoring his serious bodily injuries while trying to convince the hospital staff he was fine, healthy, and ready to leave.  No average person would try to leave a hospital after being catapulted out a windshield and pinned under a car.  Johnson obviously was not your average person, because the extreme survivalist was granted the discharge and he was out before the police could grab him.

While on Ultimate Survival Alaska a reality show produced by National Geographic, Tyler Johnson was part of the Mountaineers Team and was said to have, “pioneered new ski descents and new ice climbing routes in Alaska.”  He is, “an expert in, among other things, ice climbing, ski mountaineering, and civil engineering.”

It could be very possible that Johnson is now surviving somewhere high in the Alaska Mountains, still hiding from the law.  If caught by police, Tyler Johnson would likely be facing charges of felony theft, DUI, and eluding law enforcement.

NFL Player John Abraham Found Asleep at the Wheel – Charged With DUI

NFL Player John Abraham Found Asleep at the Wheel – Charged With DUI

Around four in the afternoon on June 29th, NFL linebacker John Abraham was charged with DUI after Georgia police officers startled him by waking him up from his midday cat nap.

Allegedly, Abraham had been drinking at the Pink Pony gentlemen’s club and decided to head out around four.  Shortly after, police found the Arizona Cardinal stopped in the middle of the road  sound asleep at the wheel.  Police say they pounded on the windows and doors of the car but it took several minutes for the big defensive player to wake up – police reports described Abraham as 6’4” tall, weighing approximately 225 pounds.

Once he woke up from his afternoon siesta, Abraham told cops he had come from the Pink Pony strip club and that he only had two drinks while there.  The officers immediately suspected 36 year-old of DUI, noting the smell of alcohol on his breath and his inability to communicate clearly, “He appeared confused and rambled while speaking.”

After failing multiple DUI field sobriety tests, John Abraham was arrested and charged with DUI and improper stopping in the roadway.

Abraham is no stranger to being arrested, in fact this was Abraham’s third run in with the law while playing for the NFL.  Back in 2003, he was arrested for DUI after plowing into a fire hydrant and ramming into a light pole.  He plead guilty to the DUI in order to avoid possible jail time.   In 2012, Abraham was charged with two counts of misdemeanor obstruction for failing to exit an area that had been taped off by police.

As of recent, the pro football player has missed the first three days of Cardinal training camp, which some speculate may be related to the June DUI charge.  Spokesmen for the Cardinals say they are aware of the DUI arrest but decline any further comments.

If Abraham is found guilty of the DUI charge he may face jail time, fines, alcohol treatment classes, and suspension of his driver’s license.  Additionally, the NFL will enforce some type of punishment such as fines and/or game suspensions.

Yolanda Foster’s Daughter Busted for DUI

Yolanda Foster’s Daughter Busted for DUI

Seventeen year old, Bella Hadid, got herself in a bit of L.A. trouble by receiving a DUI charge early Tuesday morning.  Allegedly, Bella was driving on Pacific Coast Highway around 4 am when she blew through a stop sign and almost rear ended a L.A. Counties Sheriff’s patrol car.   Reeking of alcohol, officers suspected the young lady was DUI.  The aspiring model’s DUI breathalyzer results revealed a BAC level of .14, nearly twice the California legal DUI limit of .08.  To make matters worse, Bella was driving on a suspended drivers license.  She was arrested for DUI and was hauled off to jail.

Luckily, Bella’s parents came to her rescue.  Reality TV star , Yolanda Foster, came to her daughter’s aid and bailed her out of jail.  Former Dutch supermodel, Yolanda, is well-known for being one of the elite ladies on the hit show Beverly Hills Real Housewives.  Sources also report that Grammy winner, David Foster, step dad to Bella, was also at the police station with his wife Yolanda.

In Washington, a minor DUI is considered a simple misdemeanor, similar to a negligent driving 1st degree.  However,  for a minor to be charged with a minor DUI the breath test or blood test results must be within a range of .02 to .07.  If a minor had a breath test or blood draw above a .07 then the minor would be charged as an adult.

Based on Bella’s BAC results she will be charged as an adult for DUI.  If California is similar to Washington, she could face up to a maximum penalty of 364 days in jail and a $5000 fine.  Don’t forget the license suspension.  In Washington, for a first time DUI offender with a breath test result under a .15 the license suspension would be for 90 days.  The driver would be eligible to drive during the suspension period if they decided to apply for an ignition interlock license.  To get this, the driver obviously would need to get an ignition interlock device installed.

Since, Bella’s license was already suspended her suspension period could last longer than 90 days depending on why her license was suspended in the first place.  In Washington, if she was eligible to reinstate her license but just forgot to then it would be considered a Driving While License Suspended in the 3rd degree.  If she was not eligible to reinstate her license she could be charged with driving while license suspended in the 2nd degree.  In this case, her license will be suspended for an additional year, consecutive to any other suspension she is dealing with.

Good luck Bella, the next step now is to hire a reputable DUI lawyer to fight your case!
