Joe Giudice, husband of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice, was sentenced to spend 10 days in the Morris County jail after pleading guilty to driving with a suspended license following a DWI arrest.  Giudice began his sentence this past Monday.

Giudice was charged with driving while intoxicated after flipping his truck at 1:45 AM in January.  Giudice continues to assert that he had not been drinking before the accident and that police were able to detect alcohol in his system after the accident because he had some drinks at a family member’s house while waiting for police to arrive at the scene.

Giudice was convicted of driving while intoxicated in the Montville Municipal Court and given the maximum penalty for a first time DWI conviction.

A Texas judge recently sentenced Bobby Stovall to life in prison after his 9th driving under the influence conviction.   In his latest arrest, Stovall’s blood alcohol content was over four times the legal limit at .32 percent.

In addition to the drunk driving charges, Stovall has a series of other charges including providing alcohol to a minor, burglary, and credit card abuse.

Stovall and his attorneys believe the ruling was too harsh and expressed that he would prefer entering into alcohol rehabilitation. “You’re essentially doing just that, ending this man’s life, at the expense of taxpayers,” stated Stovall’s attorney.

Houston has begun a new program to reduce the number of people who drink and drive by offering people a safe ride home when leaving bars or restaurants.

The program allows local, participating establishments to offer patrons a free cab ride home instead of driving while intoxicated and getting caught by police or worse, hurting someone or themselves.

Silver Eagle Distributors, L.P., The Greater Houston Restaurant Association and the Greater Houston Transportation Company are partnering to  put the program together and they share the same goal: to promote safe alcohol consumption.

A 38-year-old man who led police on a 140 mph high speed chase while intoxicated has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.

He pleaded guilty in court Wednesday to felony driving while intoxicated after a judge ruled that he had used a car as a deadly weapon while fleeing from officers.

This ruling means that the man will not be able to apply for parole for at least 12 1/2 years, despite there being no injuries during the chase.

Authorities say the incident began when they tried to pull the man over after seeing him racing another vehicle in a 1984 Porsche 944. The man refused to stop and took officers on a chase from Florence to Liberty Hill and then to Cedar Park.

Police managed to spike the man’s tires, at which point he fled on foot until he was caught and arrested. A blood alcohol test showed a 0.15, about twice the legal limit.

The misdemeanor DWI was elevated to a felony charge because the man had four prior DWI convictions in Florida.

Dennis Perry of Houston was pulled over for suspicion of driving under the influence earlier this summer.  Perry was pulled over by a state trooper on 1960 near Hardy Toll Road after running a stop sign.

After  five minutes of sobriety tests, Perry confused to continue.  That’s when he claims police officers harassed him for supposedly resisting and body slammed him onto the ground.  Videos of the incident show Perry asking for medical help before blacking out.

Perry is currently taking tests to find out if he will see any long-term effects from the head injuries he sustained after officers threw him to the ground.  He stated, “I honestly do not believe I did anything to deserve anything like that … I don’t think anybody does”.
