Chicago DUI lawyer comments on the DUI for love


This Chicago DUI lawyer has posted here and here on peculiar DUI arrests involving couples. Now comes news of a DUI based on the passion of the Valentine's Day season.

February 13, Orlando, FL
A Flagler Beach woman had too much to drink Friday afternoon and drove to the local jail where she requested a conjugal visit with a specific inmate, authorities said.

Deputies said Denise Rutledge, 45, did have a visitation appointment with an inmate at the Flagler County Inmate Facility — which does not allow conjugal visits — but she was turned away because she was late.

The Flagler County Sheriff's Office said she drove away then returned. After her return visit, corrections officers called for a road patrol because they suspected she had been drinking.

Deputies found her sitting in her car. She failed a field sobriety test, and a breathalyzer indicated her blood-alcohol content was 0.256.
She didn't get the love she expected at the jail and she gets criminally charged. I hope there's a good defense attorney out there who understands the power of love.

Happy Valentine's Day! Let's keep the chocolates and champagne out of the car.
