You would think the rich and famous would hire a chauffeur after having a couple of drinks. According to news reports, celebrities such as Miguel, Lamar Odom, Omar Gooding, Adam “Pacman” Jones and others haven’t quite understood the words “designated driver.” 2013 has been a busy year for police in relation to apprehending celebrities who drink and drive.
What about the arrest of basketball player Lamar Odom, when his White Mercedes SUV was impounded? Could his recent admittance to use of crack cocaine have something to do with the issue of driving while under the influence?
It’s not an utter surprise that repeat offenders, Aldon Smith of the San Francisco 49ers or Pacman Jones have been arrested in DUI traffic stops again. Seems as if Adam “Pacman” Jones can’t stay out of trouble. With eight arrests since 2005, he was recently arrested for disorderly conduct after speaking inappropriately with officers on a DUI traffic stop in which he was not even driving.
Seemingly, ‘trouble runs in the family’ may be a true statement for the Lohan’s. Dina Lohan, Lindsay Lohan’s mother, was arrested for DUI in Long Island after allegedly driving her white BMW at a speed of 77 mph in a 55-mph zone. Her blood alcohol level was .20, which definitely exceeds the .08 legal limit.
