DUI Defendant Caught Drinking at Court

1 day ago

MINDEN, Nev. (AP) — A man who was out on bail following a drunken driving arrest is back behind bars after he was caught drinking a 12-pack of beer on the Douglas County Courthouse lawn. Martin Ruiz asked the judge to release him on his own recognizance, promising not to drink another beer or drive.

But Judge Michael Gibbons set his bail at $100,000 on Monday, saying he was surprised Ruiz was released on recognizance the first time.

Ruiz was arrested in January shortly after his 21st birthday following an accident in which he, his passenger and the other driver were injured. He allegedly was driving 70 miles an hour down the twisting mountain road with a blood alcohol content of .104. The legal limit in Nevada is 0.8.

Gibbons said it would be "completely inappropriate" to release him on recognizance again.

Last night we were driving and I SWEAR I saw a man drinking a can of Budweiser as he was driving down the highway.. Not even joking.

We were driving back from Memphis late at night with very little traffic on the road and although this girl wasnt drinking, we kept our speed at 90 except when we decided to see how fast she was going which ended up being 140 when we backed off. She would speed up so fast then 10 mins later we would pass her. Looking into her car, she had the interior light on reading a book propped on the steering wheel and her lap,talking on her cell and eating some chips. All the way from Memphis to Jackson MS. We were totally surprised she did not have a accident.

I've seen people driving down the freeway reading the newspaper or a magazine.
