Many of you may have heard the news regarding Saints defensive end Bobby McCray and his recent arrest. McCray was arrested early Tuesday after an officer pulled him over for speeding. After refusing to take a breathalyzer test, Bobby McCray “was booked into Orleans Parish Prison on charges of driving while intoxicated, speeding, careless operation of a motor vehicle and not having his vehicle registration with him,” according to the article “New Orleans Saints DE McCray charged with DWI.”

According to an article published in the Gainesville Times, “[i]n 2005, the most recent year for which data was available, there were 193 alcohol-related fatalities across the country on New Year’s Eve. There were 259 in 1986.”

Police warn of DWI crackdown!

Drivers should be careful this holiday season, as Louisiana police will be out in full force, cracking down on DUI & DWI violations. The last thing that you or your family wants to deal with during the hectic holidays is an arrest for driving under the influence in New Orleans or other areas in Louisiana. Driving while intoxicated is a serious offense, especially with the new 2008 statutory regulations that require a 15-day jail sentence for people arrested for driving while their licenses are suspended as a result of a previous DWI. If you refuse to take a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test, you can have your license suspended for a year! You might also be required to have an ignition interlock device as a DWI or DUI offender. A DWI or DUI conviction can result in fines, court costs and even jail time.
