While that might seem completely redundant and warrant a resounding “DUH!” – in a state like Florida, where anything is possible, apparently, this doesn’t always have to be the case! In fact, according to a colleague, Russian speaking lawyer, Steven Veinger recently found out that DUI’s are possible in the state of Florida without a car being in sight! Here are a few of the most interesting cases of individuals being charged with a DUI without having been in a car, by the best criminal attorney Miami has practicing, Mr. Steven Veinger, Esq.
· The Man on a Lawnmower
This has to be one of the most hilarious incidents to come out of a state known for its comic criminals. in the end of 2017, a Florida man in Port St. Lucie, was arrested and charged with a DUI while riding his lawn mower. According to the police officers on the scene, the man was riding his law mower extremely erratically on a regular road, while simultaneously carrying a case of beer. When he was approached by the police, his BAC, was three-times the legal limit! As the best criminal attorney Miami has in practice, Mr. Veinger believes it almost impossible to get someone off, when they blow 3x the legal limit – especially while also carrying a case of beer.
· Riding a Horse
Ironically, during the same month of 2017 as the man on the lawn mower, a woman in Polk County was riding a horse on the highway when other motorists called the police. She ended up being stopped and arrested, after blowing double the BAC limit.
· Wheelchair
While this seems strange stopping a man in a wheelchair, the circumstances definitely lead to this arrest. In 2015, a man in Palm Bay was arrested for a DUI in a motorized wheelchair, after he was approached for blocking several lanes of traffic on a bridge. As cops approached, they could smell the alcohol on his breathed. The individual may not have spoken English according to some – Russian speaking lawyer, Steven Veinger, believes this could be used in court as a partial defense, however the sheer violation of civil safety as well as your own could prove to be an issue.
· Golf Cart
Again, in 2015 a man was arrested and charged with a DUI for driving a gold cart. On-lookers were worried and alerted the police, believing the man to be drunk. When they tried to pull him over however, he tried to outrun them and was finally caught a few minutes after and charged with a DUI.
