Pothead driver Julio Ornelas busted for DUI – drugs after running red light and crashing into a Dodge; has prior DUI pending

Julio Ornelas, DUI drugs ran a red light July 12, 2017 has current DUI case pending, charged by Perris Police.

Perris, Calif.  – Riverside County Sheriff’s Dept. Sgt. Strang reports that officers from the Perris Police Department responded to a traffic collision near the 100 block of 4th St. on Wednesday late afternoon. 20-year-old Perris resident, Julio Ornelas, drove his Honda Civic east bound 4th St. through a red light and collided into a Dodge Journey. Ornelas was determined to be under the influence of a controlled substance at the time of the collision and was arrested for DUI drug. Ornelas also has a separate case pending for DUI. Ornelas was transported to a local hospital where he was medically cleared prior to being booked into the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta.

Recent statistics reveal that 30 percent of drivers in fatal crashes had one or more drugs in their systems.  A study of active drivers showed more tested positive for drugs that may impair driving (14 percent) than did for alcohol (7.3 percent).  Of the drugs, marijuana was most prevalent, at 7.4 percent, slightly more than alcohol. Everyone should be mindful that if you’re taking medication – whether prescription or over-the-counter – drinking even small amounts of alcohol can greatly intensify the impairment affects.

Law Enforcement emphasizes the preventable nature of drunk driving reminding everyone that all it takes is a little planning ahead. Designate a sober driver or call a cab. But whatever you do, don’t drink and drive.

Sun-roof surfing, driver missing in Interstate joyride that killed Sidney Jahn

High-speed crash in BMW ends life of Sidney Jahn who was hanging out of rear window

KIRKLAND, WASHINGTON — The Washington State Patrol reports that a BMW operated by an unidentified driver, of Kirkland, Wash., which was travelling at a high rate of speed southbound on I-405 at 85^th Street in Kirkland with a passenger, Sidney Jahn, 18, of Kirkland, hanging out of a rear window when it went out of whatever control the driver may have had and hit a guardrail and ejected the half-way out Jahn, all of the ways out to his death.

Trooper R. Gagnon reports that is unknown at this time if alcohol or drugs were involved, however, if not, the 3:40 am crash on July 17, 2017, wasn’t the result of a demonstration of safe driving.

Police reported that 911 callers reported the erratic operation of the BMW and that the car had a passenger ‘sunroof surfing’, or hanging out of the sunroof while another witness said the passenger was hanging out of a rear window.  After the BMW crashed into the guardrail and police responded, the driver had fled in the car, perhaps with other passengers and left his or her dying friend lying along the roadway.

A caller to police arranged to meet presumably to turn themselves in but when police appeared, no one was there to meet them.

The 2004 BMW was found later and towed for evidence collection. Police say that charges are pending and made no report if any of injuries to the driver of the death ride.  Notification to the family was made by Washington State Patrol Chaplin Durrant, Sgt. Bassett and Trooper Klukas.

Councilman JJ Vance offers to barter DUI arrest with his truck

Anadarko City Councilman Jeffrey “J J” Vance tried to bribe and bargain his way out of a DUI arrest; even offered to forfeit his vehicle

From KFOR

ANADARKO, Okla. – An Anadarko city councilman is caught on tape bargaining with officers to get out of a DUI charge.

Jeffrey Jason or “J.J.” Vance was arrested early Wednesday morning.

It started with a routine traffic stop after an officer saw him swerving in his pickup truck, then run a red light.

“Just prior to him failing to stop at the red light, another vehicle had gone through the light while it was yellow,” said Anadarko Police Chief Tracy Roles. “Mr. Vance was well behind that vehicle.”

Vance admitted to the officer he had been drinking, but before the officer could walk back to his vehicle, body camera footage shows Vance mentioned one more thing.

“City council,” said Vance.

“What?” said the officer.

“City council.”

“What about city council?” asked the officer.

“Nothing,” said Vance. “I’m on city council.”

“Ok,” said the officer. “Ok, sit tight.”

The police ignored the comment and they conducted a field sobriety test on Vance. According to the report, officers could smell alcohol on his breath and he was unsteady on his feet.

After failing the field test, they arrested him and brought him back to the station.

Vance blew a .18 on a breathalyzer test, which is above the limit to earn a DUI charge.

But while waiting in the station, he elaborated on what he started on in his truck.

“All I can tell you all is you all just be as nice as you can to me,” Vance can be heard saying on the body camera footage, “because I am on the city council.”

He didn’t stop there, offering to pay a $700 or $800 fine, even bargaining his vehicle.

“Or, or better than that, you can even repo my car so you can make more,” Vance said.

He even made promises based on his position as a councilman.

“If you all can just fine me and let me go home, I will f****** raise all kinds of money for your a**,” Vance said. “I’ve been raising all kinds of money from the police department, forthe police department. For the dogs. I f****** raised like $1,000 for the f****** dogs. I’m not bulls********, I did do that.”

The officers deflected his pleas, saying “we don’t make deals” and “that’s not how it works,” or just ignored him.

“If you’re a city council member, or another elected official, or a member of some sort of other city or governmental agency, that does not make you above the law,” said Roles.

Anadarko Mayor Kyle Eastwood declined to go on camera for the story, but he said in a statement over the phone, “If the allegations are accurate, I would find that to be inappropriate for an elected official. But Mr. Vance is accountable to his constituents, and matters like this should be resolved at the ballot box.”

Mayor Eastwood sent the following longer statement later:

“As I said over the phone, if the allegations against Mr. Vance are true, the judicial process should be allowed to play out and the appropriate punishment determined by a jury. The matter is under investigation by local law enforcement in conjunction with the District Attorney’s Office. I have great confidence in our law enforcement officials and district attorney staff to conduct a fair investigation into the matter.

As to the political implications for Mr. Vance as a public official, it is behavior I do not condone and is unbecoming an elected official in the City of Anadarko. However, I am without authority to address his position on the City Council. That authority rests with the voters at the ballot box.

With regard to the body cam video you mentioned, I have not seen that video and cannot comment directly on what it shows. However, if it shows Mr. Vance making inappropriate comments or requests to law enforcement, I would expect that evidence to be turned over to the district attorney for review and the appropriate prosecution.”

BREAKING: Authorities have identified a Lake County man killed in a crash Saturday in a construction zone just south of Petaluma.

SONOMA COUNTY, CA — The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office has identified a man who was killed Saturday morning in a solo-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 101 south of Petaluma as Teodulo Tovar, 66, of Lake County. Tovar’s son, Teodulo Francisco Tovar Jr., was driving the car and has been arrested on suspicion of DUI and gross vehicular manslaughter, authorities say.

Tovar Jr. suffered serious injuries in the crash and his mother, Veronica April Anderson, 57, of Lakeport, also suffered major injuries. She and Tovar Jr. were taken to Marin General Hospital, CHP Officer Jonathan Sloat said in a news release.

Tovar Jr. was placed under arrest at 3:40 p.m. Saturday after a CHP officer smelled alcohol and suspected the 29-year-old Lakeport man may have been drinking while driving. Tovar Jr. then allegedly admitted he drank alcohol and smoked marijuana earlier Saturday, Sloat said.

According to the CHP, Tovar Jr. was driving his 2002 Chrysler Sebring convertible south on Highway 101 south of the Petaluma Boulevard South overcrossing around 11:40 a.m. when he drove into an active construction zone adjacent to the right shoulder.  MORE

A couple having sex with a newborn baby in the back seat ended when the career DUI driver, Michael G. Tonkin, 22, of Puyallup, Wash., got a tree-in-one on a sharp curve when he was attempting to have sex with the woman.  Tonkin got a broken wrist and the woman, Daisy Laroque, 22, of Tacoma, Washington, got a broken pelvis while the baby was okay but unfortunate enough to look forward to a life with these two jackasses.

Washington State Patrol Trooper K. Jones responded to a report of a vehicle crash into a tree on Nov. 22, 2017, at 6: 19 pm in Pierce County, Washington.

Trooper Jones reported that Tonkin crashed his 2006 Ford Taurus sedan while southbound on Rt. 7 when he left the roadway and hit a tree and a guardrail.  Tonkin, who has four prior DUI arrests was also charged with failing to abide by the ignition interlock, vehicular assault and all around failure to do right — or to simply get a room.
