Man Arrested for DUI after Azusa Car Accident

by

A 52-year-old man from Azusa, CA, has been arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol after backing his SUV into a police car. According to a news report in The San Gabriel Valley Tribune, the arrest occurred on West Sierra Madre Boulevard in Azusa. Officials say that after being pulled over, the man put his Chevrolet Trailblazer in reverse and crashed into the police car. No one was hurt in the accident but the man was charged with driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license. It is unclear from the report as to why his license was previously suspended or if the officers administered a breath test at the scene.

Under California Vehicle Code 23152, “It is unlawful for any person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, to drive a vehicle.” It is also illegal in the state of California to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 percent or higher. California Vehicle Code Section 14601 states that makes it illegal to drive on a suspended license.
